I recently had some engine problems on my boat, and was looking for a reliable Yamaha mechanic. Someone recommended Schrader Yachts, telling me they are fair and honest, but a bit expensive. My feeling is that if they are that good then they will take less time diagnosing the problem making it about the same cost with better results. As it turned out, I never got a chance to find out. The service manager, Pat told me that they were pretty busy and honestly thought it would be a week or 2 before they could look at my engines. He did, however make some suggestions as to how I could troubleshoot on my own. I tried the first suggestion and it solved my first problem. I then had what appeared to be a fuel problem, and after speaking to Pat again, he told me a few things to try, and he was spot on. The engines are purring without having to take them in to Schrader, basically losing them some repair business. On the contrary, his willing to spend some time on the phone for free to help has convinced me to bring my boat there next time I need work done. Pat is a great salesperson for Schrader Yachts just by being honest and helpful. Kudos to Pat and the folks at Schrader Yachts. read more
