Interested in connecting with Houston, Texas area Mercruiser Mechanic / 38ft Scarab
Hello forum members, as my subject line suggests any mechanics in Houston area [preferably north side] please connect with me, I have a fuel delivery issue on a 502 Magnum EFI, likely to be jelled fuel from sitting up.
I will evacuate the tank ahead of time for the fuel system work to be done, but will wait for the lines to be blown clean before adding fuel back into the tank.
I am needing a knowledgeable mechanic with their own tools that can get into the fuel delivery system efficiently saving time and get my 1 engine back to dependable running condition.
I can transport the boat to any location within reason. Boat is located in Huntsville, Texas now.
1990 - 38ft - Scarab - twin 502-Magnum EFI's, the other engine is running fine, I have run the engine that needs fuel system cleaning before.
Both engines are new rebuilds with only a few hours on them. Problem is they have been sitting up for some time and I am sure the lines and other components are clogged with jelled fuel.
I ran the other engine just a few months ago. I would like the mechanic to check fuel pressures for both engines once they are both running, and possibly do other checks as needed, recommend best fuel delivery mod's if needed, etc....
There are a few other repairs needed to this boat, it is a restoration in progress, so there may be other items for the right mechanic to pick-up on.
Thanks for any referrals or responses to this request that can get me where I need to be in the next 1 or 2 months with running this boat, before I send it for gel-coat restoration and upholstery.

Unless someone from the Lake Conroe area replies, you are better off getting it down to any number of the guys down in the Kemah area. I know Victory Marine could get you back up and running. My .02

Glenn at Lakeside Marine on Hwy 105, Montgomery, TX is pretty good. I took my old Checkmate to him several times and had they did a good job. No complaints. FYI - Stopped in there last week and was told there is a 6 week backlog right now. I am waiting until October to take mine in.
