I’m having some issues with my 200EFI and need a reputable mechanic to look at it. I have used Rockwall Marine for 20+ years and they have always done a excellent job. The problem is that they are 6 weeks out before they will even look at it. I need my boat a lot sooner than that. I’m asking for and looking for names of other Mercury mechanics in the dfw area that I can check into about getting it repaired sooner.
Thanks in advance!!

Just got work done at Hughes Marine in Wylie. Gary had it done quick and reasonably priced. I have a Yamaha but sure he does Mercs.

I've had real good luck with Service Marine in Emory.

Man I’m guessing this might not be happening right now. Let me say thanks for the references. Everyone of them I spoke with today is 3 - 5 weeks out. Thanks again !!

Going through the same issue. Called Plano Marine and Rockwall Marine earlier this week. Both of them told me the same thing, 6+ weeks. Got on the waiting list at Rockwall. ![[Linked Image]](https://media3.giphy.com/media/d2qJhxeaaWXPG/giphy.gif?cid=19f5b51aaef6ce461978730e84de48f57a7ef5a04fcaa8ff&rid=giphy.gif)

I would look up Matt Martin What he said! Matt rebuilt my efi trim system for dirt cheap when a well known shop recommended it needed to be replaced for $1600. He’s also looked at the same motor for other issues with a quick turnaround.
