As the service manager at a boat shop I can only give youa few ideas to consider. First, think of your motor as your teeth, and a master mechanic as your dentist. How much money have you spent trying to avoid a master machanic and still problem not resolved? At our dealership, we pay Yamaha and Mercury about $18,000 pre year for software, training and manuals. This is why you may find labor rates higher at dealerships. There is for sure a place in the world for non-dealership type shops, but in the long run a master mechanic is a master machanic.

P.S. Try a product called 4-power in your fuel. Not HEET or something else. This is a very strong fuel system cleaner we use to clean clogged vst pumps, etc.
