Bottom paint and outdrive service X2
Feb 10th, 2013 at 1:54pm
 
Anyone know ballpark of what I should expect to pay for new bottom paint and outdrive servicing for two Volvo Penta duo prop outdrives?  Gonna do it in the next several weeks.  32 footer. 

Eriksson, Five Star or ??

The folks in town that I found who would do bottom jobs for me are Eriksson, hurst harbor, and south Austin Marine.  Eriksson was the cheapest at $65/foot but I talked Harbor into matching the price as I wanted to give Scott the business and it was a haul I was familiar with. Very happy with it.
Outdrive service you may end up paying hourly and then it depends on what they find and how easy they come off.  I always do my drives myself. expect $50+ for fluid and gaskets per drive.Maybe 3-4 hrs each at $110/hr.  Just spitballing but I can do one in 3 hours if all goes as planned and I'm not a professional.  Anyone should be able to give you a ballpark hours estimate if all checks out fine (pressure test, gimball inspection, ujoint inspection, fluid appearance, pressure test, alignment).  I have yet to have everything check out OK for both drives on a drive inspection however  Roll Eyes
