I had work done at Montgomery Marine this year on 2 different boats. One was a pontoon with a knock in the engine and bad water pump I was told that the compression was bad and the engine needed to be replaced(2500) they charged me over 1100 to do this plus supposedly serviced the boat. When the boat was checked by another marina the only problem was the timming was off. I also had a bigger boat that they charged me over 2000 to service. They were to do a 100 hr check after I got the boat back I found that they had left out 2 water jacket plugs on one of the engines. After trying to put the plug in myself I found they had forced the water pressure fitting into a engine mounting bolt hole and left 2 water jacket holes unpluged! After talking to the service tech he said that a mechanic that had worked for them had sabbatoged his work on my boat. After running the boat I found that one of the lower units was pouring oil after checking this I found the bolts holding the rear plate were only hand tight They took on their own to check the wheel bearings on the trailer After only 50 miles I had to stop and buy 2 bearing buddies that had come off and clean grease off of the trailer and boat They were to check oil pressure gauge and sending unit. I put it on! a water pressure line was left loose in bottom of boat. With all this I did not believe anything and had all oils changed and reserviced Never again will I grace their doors
