Last weekend we went diving to lake mead. Due to an incident with a a bunch of D...bags we decided it was best to pack on sunday night and leave.
While loading the truck at 2AM on Sunday morning in the middle of the desert, my buddy grabbed my Tohatsu 4 stroke 9.5 hp engine and placed it the wrong way causing the oil to spill all over the engine and all over my truck. He was not familiar with the engine and I did not make him aware what size the engine should go.
Because the engine was cover with gear and stuff I did not notice it until we got home 6 hrs later.
My friend call Mario from the Boat Grotto for advice.

Mario gave me precise instructions as to how to deal with this problem but I could not get the engine started and I did not have the tools and or the space to take care of the issue, so I decided to take the engine to him.
Him and his guys stopped doing what they were doing to look at my little 9.5 HP. They spent at least 45 minutes in removing the oil, starting the engine, burning the oil and replacing the oil.
They charged me nothing!
I went to the ATM got some cash, and gave Gregory the head mechanic what I consider was a nice tip.
(is the last thing I could do)
Mario has gained a loyal costumer.
They saved me time and money and now I can take boat in the water.
If you have any problems with your boat or if you are looking to buy a used boat, go and see Mario at the Boat Grotto.
Thanks Michael for finding Mario and his guys.
