They also replaced Shift Cable-the piece which passess through transom to O/D.

Also, had Trim Limit/Sender Pucks replaced.

All parts lubed during re-assembly.
All new parts were used, 'Sierra' brand.

Parts & Labor & Tax $600.

Took boat out for a run today to test for leaks. All appears well and bilge is completely 'dry' !

Have another same issue, which I thought was solved with engine stalling,
appears to have reared it's ugly head again ! Have posted in another thread.

Thanks again for the info. about the bilge problem, this one is hopefully behind me !

Thanks,
Bigdog

Good news Bigdog. Sounds like you got a bargain. Stalling when shifting. Since they replaced the shift cable between the O/D and the linkage on top of the engine, I suspect all it needs is a followup shift cable adjustment on top of the engine. A five minute job. It's easiest with the boat in the water.
