Hope I'm at a correct place to find this information?  If not PLEASE direct me to correct one.  I'm searching the Piedmont portion of North Carolina for a very good knowledgeable Mercury Outboard mechanic/technician!  I'm in the Greensboro, NC area and presently when service work needed on my Mercury outboard I take it to Rock Outdoors.  Looking for a Mercury outboard tech closer to Greensboro.

I use YMT / NC Marine.  Fortunately, I haven't had to find out if he's a 'very good knowledgeable mechanic/technician.... yet.

  Not close enough to you, probably.... sorry.... he's close to Hyco, but will make house calls

Knowledgeable and trustworthy are the most difficult parts to find !! It is becoming a real issue all across the country.  Your chances are better in waterfront cities where boating is big business.  In rural away from water areas it can be really difficult.  I learned to do all the maintenance and routine stuff on my boats myself for these same reasons.  I have on occasion used a mobile mechanic for some sticky issues but he was recommended personally by others that actually used his services.  When you do find a good one, be prepared to pay them well, very well, just the nature of the beast today.  No one said boating was a cheap hobby !

Thanks Guys.  I have been using Rock Outdoors in Lexington, NC that was recommended to me by a Pro Fisherman.  He told me Brad Ayers is one of the best Mercury Techs in NC.

Glad you found one,  the guy that is in my area is getting closer to retirement and many of the locals are getting worried about finding another.  Being an older fellow, makes him no difference to a two stroke or a four stroke and Mercury is not his only servicing brand !!  Yes, we are lucky....not sure what the future hold's however.....good and reputable are things we don't see much of anymore.....hope things workout for you !
