About how much should I expect to pay for full service on a Mercury Optimax?...change impeller, change oil & filters.
Fishing, a man knows a serenity of soul and peace of mind that he finds in doing nothing else, and it makes no difference whether or not he catches anything. The mind of a true fisherman is not on petty subjects.

For what your asking to be done, you can easily do it yourself for less than $100.00.
How many hours since spark plugs been changed?
