I am new here so please understand if I repeat old threads.
I have a 1999 Evinrude V4 115 Ocean Runner. I purchased it in 2000. It ran problem free for about 5 years, but since then i have had what i feel to be too many issues. I am not here to badmouth evinrude, I just need some direction. I have been through two power packs, two stators, and two rectifiers in the last three years. I also lost the gears in the lower unit three years ago. (extended warranty) These werent guessing problems and changing parts, i went to an OMC repair shop. The latest was the stator and a sensor three months ago. $650. The first time out this weekend, it stalled after about an hour on the water. Yesterday, I saw a compression check and its 30 on the top right cylinder. Obviously I now need a rebuild. Can someone direct me to a reputable repair shop in South Texas? 650 was bad enough 3 months ago, but my fishing buddy is going to help with the cost of a rebuild.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
