I am a total newb. I inherited a '97 Wellcraft Center Console w/ a 2005 - Evinrude 115 Outboard.
This motor has roughly 70 hours on it. At 60 hours it began cutting off after about 1 hour of operation. It would not run faster than idle after restarting.
I took the motor to an Evinrude dealer who has tried many different fixes but with no succes. So evetually the Evinrude Master Mechanic weighed in and said it was the Fuel Pump Assembly. Well that did not fix it either. Now they are saying its the fuel injectors.... repair cost 4K. I figured it was not worth it seeing how am already in 2K for prior fixes that didnt work. The dealership offered me 3K for the boat which I'm planning on taking.
My question - Do you think I should be on the hook to the dealer for costs that Evinrude's Master Mechanic said would fix the problem that didn't?
(sorry for the long post)
