Outboard service cost
Can anyone give me a ballpark figure on the cost of a standard service for a 2010 60hp Mercury 4 stroke?

Re: Outboard service cost
For a standard service, anywhere from $500 to $800. If you know a backyard mechanic it will be a little less

pretty much what canned said...
Just depends on parts and how much people charge for labor.

Re: Outboard service cost
A 2010 model I'm guessing is out of warranty so are you a hands on sort of person?
If you are and the motor runs fine and you just want to service it you can do this at home with some basic tools and buying genuine parts for much less than this.not much to it really.
Also don't forget to give the trailer lights, bearings; rollers and winch a once over as well.

Re: Outboard service cost
$800 for a standard service?? what in the **** are they doing to it for that price?
surely a diagnostic scan, impeller, oil and filter change plus the usual anodes and gearbox oil shouldnt cost $500 let alone $800..
waterpump is not replaced every 100 hours, so thats not a std service anyway
makes me glad i bought the 2 stroke, horses for causes i know, but that ******* daylight robbery honestly!!!

Re: Outboard service cost
$280 or so from memory last service was, the impeller was changed. but not the housing. thats for a 50hp, dont think size matters anyway for the 2 strokes.Fishbref wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 9:37 ampurple5ive wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 9:20 am$800 for a standard service?? what in the **** are they doing to it for that price?

Re: Outboard service cost
Just did a rough costings (disclosure i work for a Mercury dealer)
100hr service (which includes water pump)
Parts and labor works out around $710
Thats:
oil and oil filter
Gearoil
Water pump kit
Drain washers
Sump washer
Fuel filter (in boat and EFI filter)
Thermostat gasket (not including thermostat if needed)
Spark plugs (would change every 300hrs)
This includes a check over of the boat, motor and trailer, then tell you if anything else needs fixing and additional costs come after that.
Every year this comes up. Dont like paying for a Factory backed technician to work on it, no worries. Fix it yourself. But do you look at engines every day and know what weird things to look for?
Do you have diagnostics to run engines on?
I understand that people dont like spending money...but only 1 person i know of has every walked on water...and hes long dead. So it pays to have someone look at it!
