Location: Elk River, Minnesota | I hope they would not have to pull the engine off the cowling...but that might be something they have to do as well...Reason being that if something is clogged in the powerhead, they will have to somehow get in there and clean it out...I hope they can find it by taking the water jacket off and going back that way.
What bothers me about how the marina treated you is that the particular check that I mentioned should have been one they SHOULD have done in the first place. but...with no test tank, they probably don't have test wheels either to put a load on the engine.
If you end up taking it to a fix-it shop, definitely do NOT go back to the marina you started with. From what you have described, they have not put the correct time in on the engine... I wonder if you can get some of your money back since they never DIAGNOSED the problem to begin with....they just threw parts at the problem. I would get in contact with the owner, explain your situation to him/her and just see what happens. Worse case you have nothing to lose from where you are at now.
