Thread: Got The Motor Blues

ah heck, join the crowd! I blew my motor last month. thought, i am not going to fix it, i will buy a new one and be back on the water next week. Well, its not that simple. I bought a Suzuki 250 SS March 31. I was told it will be on and ready to role in a week. 10 days went by before I could even get a vin number before it was shipped. Finally came in last week, but heck, they forgot to put a wiring harness in there. since it did not come in that create, you cant just buy one. They put me on back order. Here i am 4-24 without a motor still. Hydrophobic just like Dr Nip! I will say, the 3 calls a day to customer service has got me more satisfaction than calling my dealer.

I've had nothing but good dealings with Bayer Marine. From trolling motors to outboards to big block maintenance, I sing their praises. They've been around for close to 50 years. You don't get that far down the road by hustling people.

Evinrude has contacted me more today than the Fun Boat Store has in 7 weeks!

Dr. If I was looking for a new motor I would try Nichols marine. Ranger has lots of good things to say about them!! I think they have a place in Norman as well as Tulsa. Just a thought.

I should have asked around 1st before taking the plunge with this boat shop.

That's who had my boat last summer for 7 weeks and although they said it was fixed , it wasn't. And also, to go along with what you are encountering DrNip, they never once called me, I had to call them to get any info on what was going on with my boat. My .02

If I could have ordered the 25 online and installed myself I would've. Anything above a 20 you can't.

Why can't you install one over 20?
