Location: Eastern Ontario | If you haven't bought the Johnson yet Mariner to Mercury would be more straight forward and you might be able to use your old controls and gauges. The switch to Johnson shouldn't be difficult if you have access to some sort of chain hoist or engine hoist. If the mounting holes don't match and I don't think they will ( mine didn't a few years back when I went Merc to Suzuki ) you will have to plug the old holes with dowling and seal before drilling new holes. With shop rates around here around $100 dollars an hour the quote is about right, but you say you are handy so it's just your time and not that difficult. |
