I use Waterline Marine in Joondalup. Pretty sure he is not overly expensive, but I worry more about the outboard working rather than how much it cost.

Thinking of getting my Tohatsu Motor Serviced, wondering whats a decent price just for a standard service?
Seems the marine mechanics usually charge an arm and leg!

$$$
Anyting under $100.00 a hr seems good from what i can find. Wonder if beer, foldingstuff and glass repairs would count i wonder what happened to the barter system thats my preferred method Hahahaha .

If it wont start than its not really just a service. It could be carbies or something electrical?
A service is just oil, plugs, filters and sometimes (100hour) impeller's.
Cheap service i have said before is just that, a cheap service.
I'd be more asking for someone who has a excellent mechenic they would recomend.

Got my tohatsu serviced for $240
This was done by Arthur page but he clean out everything that could come off the engine, I don't know anything about them. He re-tuned the engine, I would say he was at my house for at least 2hours or more?
