Good mechanic in SD - Impeller

Can anyone recomend a good mechanic in SD to replace my impeller and service the engine? I have a 2002 Evinrude 90hp... Prefer someone to come to me if possible.

Thanks guys

Re: Good mechanic in SD - Impeller

why don't you just do it yourself? it takes about 30 minutes and is one of the best ways for you to get to know your motor.



I'm changing my impeller this weekend. I'll post a tutorial when I'm done to show you how easy it is.

The kit should run you about 50 bucks, plus a tube of anti-seize and a 12 pack= $70

bring it to a mechanic= ~$200 (plus time with your baby is someone's shop)

you do the math....

Thanks, Look forward to seeing that tutorial, that would be really helpful.

I'm sure it would only take me a six pack but then again I'm bad with math.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
