I dont know anyone who has been there so I posted here to see what comes up.
As for Baert, for some reason I thought they were just an outboard shop, no idea where i got that idea,,, Dont ever recall seeing them selling anything but fishing boats with outboards at the old location, so maybe thats where I got the idea.
Have you used either shop?
Thanks!

I have used Baert as a source for my parts locally since I do things myself. I have not used them for repairs. The price on their webpage for water pump service is $300 plus parts for an "inside the boat" water pump which I assume yours is since it's a Bravo ( I'm a Volvo owner). If I'm not mistaken that is a belt driven pump in a separate housing mounted lower left on the engine. Their shop rate is $115 per hour. Hope this helps.
