[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 252376, member: 3278"] Whoa, Guys! The mechanic will charge flat rate times based on his going labor rate for one....plus parts at full retail vs what they cost. If he can do the job faster he will still charge flat rate and if he gets hung up then he should still only charge flat rate unless the extra time was legitimate. That is a benefit of experience! Dont know the details and havent seen the work ticket so we really dont know what the charges were for. Second, if the engine ran in the test tank on a shop fuel tank then maybe there is an issue with the boat's fuel tank. The engine sounds like it is running a little lean and the first thing I would do is richen the idle mixture a little to compensate for the depth that the engine is running on the boat vs the static water line in the test tank and see if that cures the problem.
