That motors 7 years old.
Part is no longer available.
We lose $$ on service!
EPA made me do it!
Parts at central warehouse, you'll get them next month.
We don't make parts for those.

JUST GOT AN EMAIL FROM ONE OF MY CANADIAN CUSTOMERS WHO ORDERED A SMALL SEAL KIT - MAILED ON JULY 24TH. IT FINALLY ARRIVED ON AUGUST 19TH. MY THANKS TO CANADIAN CUSTOMS AND POSTAL SERVICES FOR THEIR EFFICIENT, FRIENDLY AND QUICK WORK. PERHAPS THE POSTMASTER GENERAL SHOULD RUN FOR A HIGHER OFFICE! IT'S A PRETTY SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS WHEN 2 COUNTRYS WITH SUCH CLOSE TIES AS THE US AND CANADA SHOULD HAVE SUCH POOR TRADE RELATIONS AS THIS.

ALOHA ALL - BEEN A LONG TIMS SINCE ANY NEWS WAS POSTED HERE, A LITTLE UPDATING MAY BE IN ORDER. BEEN THRU A LOT OF BAD TIMES, ONE BRIGHT SPOT IN MY LIFE IS THIS WEBSITE AND ALL YOU FOLKS THAT MAKE IT POSSIBLE. THE CURRENT ECONOMIC MESS HAS CAUSED ME A LOT OF PROBLEMS BUT THE UPSHOT IS IT WILL BE BETTER IN THE END. BUSINESS IS GOOD AND LOOKS LIKE WE WILL HAVE A RECORD YEAR.

ONGOING PRICING PROBLEMS

The manufacturers have been driving us nuts with random price increases, it's tough to keep up with them. Now that they have successfully eliminated most smaller dealers they have taken the parts availability and pricing on line using proprietary password protected dealer only web sites. Here they can change things at will. It's not like old times when there would be a 2 - 3% across the board increase every 6 months or so. Many parts have recently increased in price 20 - 30% at both Mercury and Bombardier (Evinrude / Johnson). Any printed accessory catalogs or paper price books are obsolete before we can get them.

The long and short of it is, even tho we do due diligence in pricing the parts here at MASTERTECH, it isn't humanly possible to keep up with this situation. SO be aware that the prices of some items may be higher upon review than the web site price. We will do our best to advise you of this should your order be affected. Thanks for understanding.

FINALLY BROKE AWAY LONG ENOUGH TO GET TO AN AOMCI ANTIQUE OUBOARD MEET

ROLLED IN TO THE YELLOW JACKET CAMPGROUND ON THE OLD SUWANNEE RIVER ON FRIDAY THE 18TH. THE LAST MEET I HAD ATTENDED WAS IN 1993. THERE WERE ABOUT 50 OUTBOARD COLLECTORS AND THEIR FAMILYS AT THIS GATHERING. ALL I HAD READY TO SHOW WAS A 1962 EVINRUDE 5.5HP, SO I SET IT UP AND DISPLAYED A FEW ODD PARTS THAT I GATHERED UP AT THE LAST MINUTE.

A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL, I THANK GEORGE EMMANUEL AND BOB WALWORK FOR WELCOMING A STRANGER FROM A STRANGE LAND!! TAKE A LOOK AT THE COMPLETE GROUP OF MEET PICS IN THE VINTAGE SECTION OF THE SITE.

ALOHA ALL - SINCE THE FIRST OF THE YEAR WE HAVE REVISED A LARGE NUMBER OF PAGES, ADDED A LOT OF NEW PAGES WITH MOST OF THE MERCRUISER AND OMC STERN DRIVE ITEMS YOU MAY NEED. CURRENTLY WORKING ON UPDATING THE POWERHEAD, GEARCASE AND OTHER BRANDS REBUILD KITS TO REFLECT INCREASED AVAILABILITY OF PARTS FOR MANY MODELS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE ON THE WEBSITE. I WILL DO MY BEST TO GET IT UP THERE. I PLAN ON DOING A LOT MORE TUNE UP TIPS AND OVERHAUL PROCEDURES FOR SPECIFIC SYSTEMS AND MOTOR SERIES IN 2009. WE WILL ADD TORQUE SPECS, ELECTRICAL VALUES FOR CD IGNITIONS AND GEARCASE CAPACITY/RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS. ANYTHING ELSE YOU MIGHT LIKE TO SEE LET ME KNOW.

"Persistence. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."
