I've always used Travis Marine in Lewisville. They are now Tracker, but the same quality service and staff. Give them a try

Take it over to Tommy and his crew @ Rockwall Marine (972-771-4442). They will get you fixed up.

I've had my 90 Evinrude in to Tracker Boat Center (formerly Travis Marine)in Arlington and am quite pleased with the work and the turnaround. Phone 817/265-3232. I've lost the service mgr. name but I think you will like what they say. Hope this helps........

I THIRD that suggestion! Rockwall Marine.......its a little bit of a drive for you .... but if you pickup the boat on a Saturday you can fish Ray Hubbard on your way back home.  Tommy has one of the best repair facilities and techs in the metroplex.

I've never used Tommy Yetts, have heard nothing but good things about him & his shop! if you don't wanna drive that far, get in touch with Opti on here, he is a good man & mechanic that will fix it right too! I think he is in Ft.Worth area. Good luck, TLP

I would also say Rockwall Marine. Heard nothing but good things about them.
Another place is West Boats in Mesquite.. Steve is a top notch mechanic who has worked on mine from day one and I have never had a problem.
