Sounds good for sure
I rang him yesterday from South China, going to get him to do my Honda 150 in about 4 weeks time or so . I am in Busselton too so if anyone requires a good cheap service for their outboards send us a PM and I will forward you the phone number

what service and what was
what service and what was done?
I did the 400 hr on my 115 4stroke a couple of days back.
Longest part was valve clearances and most time consuming of that was making the tool to hold the camshaft gears to remove them.
Did not require adjustment but wanted to have a look in there anyway. I fiddled all day but sneaked out for a surf at smoko
Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

Service
$470 doesnt sound too bad for a 4 hour service.
Hard to compare costs as different things need doing at different intervals.
Main thing is if your happy with the work and feel like you got good value for money then your probably on a winner.
