I will be doing a service on my buddies lower unit this weekend (That sounds really bad) I will leave it because it sounds funny.
I will be changing out his waterpump and gear oil.
Now to add to the funny. What should I charge him? I know shops get 75 an hour and it is 2.5hrs labor.
I am also driving 200 miles to do this.

I don't charge Buddies anything except the parts and his company. But this is AZ and you are CA. See the difference??:D

I have no opinion on what you should charge but I have an opinion on charging 2.5 hours labor for the job. Since I can comfortably do these two jobs in an hour without rushing, my suggestion to the shops charging 2.5 is they should close their doors unless they can get a competent mechanic.

Some pizza and beer sounds about right.

Yeah, he was supposed to come out and help but can't make it. I figured friendship was good enough, plus he is letting me use his dock.
This was supposed to be a bit humorous but, oh well.:eek:

When you service his lower unit, it is proper to reach around and crank check the johnson rod as well. If both are well lubed all should be even.:D ;)

Something cold to drink and thats about it. But then if he were a buddie you wouldn't have to ask.
