Thanks for the reply guys.

Steve....I'm guessing too that there's gotta be something internal that' clogged up...as in the power head.

My question to this marina is this:

If they replaced the tach and this rectifier/regulator..and the problem still exists...then that tells me that both the tach and this rectifier/regulator did not need to be replaced at all. And that my original parts were most likely were in fine, working condition.

If they try to tell me that these two parts were "bad" and needed to be replaced, I'd then ask what sort of problems should I have been experiencing due to those two parts going "bad?" I never noticed an issue with my tach. It always registered and worked. And I have no clue what this rectifier/regulator does..no clue what it's job it...unless it's responsible for sending the info from the motor to the tach. Regardless...neither of those two parts were providing a solution to the problem. Then in that instance...in my minds eye...they didn't need replaced.

What a joke this is....

Wish I could work a deal out of this marina for a new 4-stroke outboard for all my "pain and suffering." ;)[/QUOTE]
