| A friend of mine has a 1997 Mercury Force 75hp engine. The alarm started to go off on our last trip and he called the shop he uses and they told him it needs a water pump. He was quoted $500.00+ to do it, which seems a lot of money. He has been out of work all summer, so he can’t afford to fix it, is it hard to do the water pump? He is located NW burbs of Chicago, if anybody over this wants to do it cheap. |

| I have 90 HP Honda that I had to change the water pump in Red lake On cost me $300.00 I don't recall the cost of the part vs labor. I was happy they had the part and no wait on the labor I was back on the water in about 3 hours. |

Location: Iowa | I got a complete kit for under $50 and did it myself last year on my previous boat. Took a couple hours, but would be quicker after you do it once. I'd get the parts and look up online how to do it. $500 is simply a rip-off for someone who they hope won't know any better. I wouldn't give them ANY business at all. |
