Guys - Once in a while you come across a company that provides excellent service. Gotta give him a plug on here . . . for great prices and superfast shipping.

Merc Carb rebuild kits $29/ea
Merc Water pump Kit (w/upper housing, gaskets, HD impeller) $19 (ebay deal)

Both times the parts went from Texas to Cali paid/shipped on thursday and arrived at my door on Sat (USPS).

The local Mercury Express Parts Dealer (Gone Fish'in) is a Joke out here . . . Everytime I need parts they don't have them (not even an impeller for a Mercury Blackmax), take forever to find a part number, and take weeks to order them.

BS...as always, there's ONE thing that seperates a business from the pack of pretenders, and that is SERVICE...it never ceases to amaze me how many so called businesses there are out there who have invested $$ and time and when it comes time for the rubber to meet the road, all they have is a hand full of excuses...LUV to hear about businesses who REALLY know how to do business!!.. ;) ;D...thanks for spreadin' the word... ;D...got some things to get soon...

I'm never going to my local Yamaha dealer again. Every time I call them it takes 5 freakin minutes just to get the right person on the phone and they are freakin a-holes. They don't know the first thing about service! I found another Yamaha dealer that's a little farther away that will get all of my business from now on. Its worth the drive not to have to deal with smart @sses.

Our Merc dealer is the same way. Dont even try to go in there with out your serial number. They'll send you home. They wanted 45 bucks for the three O-rings in the final fuel filter on my EFI.
