Our boat is an older one, it has spent more time at Erickson than in the water in the last year. First, the water pump failed last June. It took 5 weeks before we had it back. Yes, they replaced the water pump, but did not flush the lines so it had to go back for a $125 flush, luckily the new water pump was not destroyed. Later in the summer, there were problems with the fuel lines. They replaced one and it ran okay the few times we were out in the fall. My husband took it in during the winter to have them change out all the fuel lines and check to see if anything else looked worn. They replaced a few things, and said it was good to go. First time out this spring, it won't stay running. Now it needs a thermostat and Oh, it may need a major gasket and a check to see if there's more damage. So after spending more than $1600 in less than a year, the boat is still not really usable. Plus when my husband went to pick it up, they had broken the prop while it was there, but didn't bother to mention that. Not sure what the problem is, but don't tell someone you can do something if you really can't. Continually taking apart a motor at $125/hour is highway robbery when you could have done all that was asked once and done it right.
