Wanted a new water pump and figure out what the issue was with rough running condition. Two (2) weeks later I called them to see what progress they had made. Said oh we were going to call you today. She said the lower unit had a grinding noise in it, also added tilt/trim needed to be rebuilt. I asked what about it running rough, said could not find an issue with it. Said it would be a rough Estimate of 4 hours at $170/hr to diagnose lower unit issue. I told them to rebuild the tilt/trim and they didn't have an Estimate for that (my fault for not pressing for an Estimate). Told me a new lower unit would be $3800.00 without labor, I felt that was too much. Told them to reinstall lower unit with no water pump. I picked up the boat 2 weeks later when finished, left my lock on the hitch, asked where the key was said they didn't know. Got boat home, took lower unit off and heard no grinding, cap for input shaft had rust on it which they said entire lower unit was rusted. I purchased a new water pump assembly, new bearing cap. Installed on boat and put new oil in to proper levels. I installed new plugs which were replaced 8 months ago. Lower plug #4 came out real hard. Test ran boat and still ran like crap, rough running again. This is after I paid them $2054.76 for I guess nothing but a rebuilt tilt/trim assembly. I did a compression test on it: cyl: 1= 175psi cyl 2= 165psi cyl 3= 160psi cyl 4= 148psi. I then took it to another Suzuki dealer told them runs rough with the compression numbers I had. Also said noise (grinding) in lower unit. They called 2 days later and said cleaned carbon from motor, had good compression but still ran rough. Said new plugs I installed on cyl 3 & 4 were all rusty. They called Suzuki, Manufacturer told them to take all plugs out, put motor vertical, run water through muffs and look for water. Water was coming out cyl 3 & 4. That ment that the head or block had a crack. It was running on a maximum of 3 cylinders. So, I purchased a new motor. Abel Marine didn't check the engine out, screwed me on diagnosis for lower unit and took me for a ride on the tilt/trim assembly. I will NEVER recommend them to ANYONE !! Why are people not truthful and incompetent?? Guess they thought I was stupid. Lesson learned !!

I did not have a boat trailer, so they accommodated me and pulled my boat out at Ponce inlet on their trailer. After fixing my problem (had to replace a hydraulic connection), and painting the pipe/connection with anti-corrosive paint, they delivered my boat back to Ponce inlet. All of this at a reasonable price. I recommend these guys - good communicators, great service, at a good value.

I shopped at Boat Parts and More on the recommendation of a mechanic. This is a locally owned and…read moreoperated store. I needed to purchase parts for the Yamaha 100 hour maintenance on my outboards and it was good to find a reliable store that not only carried the necessary parts but also ensured they were in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. The sales person double-checked all the part numbers to ensure they were precisely what I needed. I'm guessing the staff is a husband and wife team and they both demonstrated an impressive understanding of the Yamaha maintenance requirements. They took the time to discuss the specific needs of my boat and answered all my questions. It was evident that they possessed a deep knowledge of their products and inventory. To my delight, each part fit seamlessly into place. This is a local source for genuine Yamaha parts. I needed that in order to comply with the manufacturer's warranty requirements. If you're looking for a reliable source of boat parts, I highly recommend Boat Parts and More.

I authorized work based upon a verbal quote. When they called to review the invoice, they told me the acid wash took an extra hour ($135). When I objected, they said it was a common practice to proceed, without notifying the customer, if the overage was under ten percent (10%). Eventually, they took that amount off the invoice. When I received the invoice there was a $50 "shop charge" that had not been discussed with me over the phone. I sent an email, objecting to that charge and the overall experience of getting, not one, but two surprise charges. I received a call from Stacy (who I was informed later was the owner). After explaining the situation, she started yelling at me and how they're trying to run an honest business, etc. I had to abruptly end the conversation by asking her to respond to my email in writing. She never did. I've never been talked down to as a customer and would not recommend them.
