    Default Old Mercury help


    Anybody know of somebody who works on old Mercury outboards in the High Rock Lake area? I've got an old Merc that I just can't get the water to pump on. Any help would be much appreciated.

    A good friend just told me that was his brother in laws marine repair shop off Webb Road. Not sure the name of it right off...it seemed like it was near where Webb runs into Hwy 29...if they intersect...not familar with the area.

    D & E Marine on Hwy 8 is near HR Lake but maybe not near you. I think he is pretty good. 336.357.5620
