A big "Thank you" to CV Marine in Courtenay. My Merc 115 4, with only 660 hrs , quit off Hornby Island about 5 weeks ago. 4 hr trip back to Comox on the kicker. Like a number of other dealers/marine mechanics, they are crazy busy. They pushed me up the ladder so we could see what was wrong. Turns out the oil pump base washer failed... block was toast. BUTTTTT I had two weeks left on my Merc 3 yr warrantee. The guys at CV got in touch with Mercury in Michigan...... the upshot was Merc honored the warrantee and shipped a complete powerhead to Courtenay . It took a while because of Covid border restrictions , but I now have a basically a new motor.. The stick handling from CV to Fond du Lac to get the block shipped asap is much appreciate-- so I am NOT selling my boat....Its got a brand new engine !
