All,
I'm in need a diesel mechanic who makes house calls (I'm at Lake Travis Marina). I've got an overheating problem and I suspect it's something to do with either an impeller, thermostat, or water pump. I've given it my best shot after hours of reading and youtube and have reached my limit. If anyone can recommend someone I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your help.

I am not sure when it comes to a diesel mechanic. Have you checked with the marina to see if they have any in house? You may also ask Jim to see if he can help. good luck!

Jim only works on Mercury products.
Give Five-Star Marine a call.

Didn't even think of 5-star. I thought they were just boat sales. They are even on my dang marina! I pass their office every time I walk to my boat! Thanks for the tip!
I did contact Jim and you are correct, he only works on Mercury. To his credit, he answered my email within the hour and I emailed him around 6:30 this morning.
Thanks for the tips.
