Hi all, looking for a good mechanic that will come down to the boat at Gosford Sailing Club and give my Yamaha 9.9 a service. I think I got a bad batch of fuel. I got new fuel but now the motor has no guts at half revs and stalls at higher revs. It also sounds a lot more "tinny" now and I can see a slight exhaust smoke now where I didn't have this before.

Thanks
Geoff

I should add that I have neither the tools or the expertise to attempt any more than what I've done and while the motor is working I don't have the confidence it will get us back to Pittwater.

Hi Geoff,
Give Mitch a call on 0417 002715.

He is a marine mechanic, and runs a mobile service out of his boat from the other end of the bay.

I'm not sure of his availability at this time of the year, but worth a try.

Cheers Chris.

Hi again Chris

Thanks for the link to Mitch. He wasn't able to help due to a holiday he had planned but we spoke for a while and he sounded like a real nice guy.

Hi Geoff,

I see you are on the courtesy mooring in front of the club now.

Did you get any contacts from Mitch?

Maybe try InSync Marine West Gosford, or the three marinas on the on the other side of the Rip Bridge.
Booker Bay, Central Coast, and Kilcare Marina.

I'm only 10 mins from your location let me know if I can help in any way. 0420 922948.

Cheers Chris.
