Yes. It's a long story, but I got hooked up with the wrong mechanic to do some add ons and a couple of small repairs. He had it for two months and did very little with it. I finally went to his place a demanded it back. He talked me into letting him keep it one more day and he rushed most of the rest of the work he was supposed to be doing and did a poor job, but the main things I needed were done okay. Then I took it to a different place for detailing and a couple of the things that had not gotten done. It developed the problem with the motor while they had it. Hell of a coincidence, huh?
I've only had it on the water five times. The first was the test run when I bought it. Second was a test run when I got it back from the first mechanic. Third was "fishing", but the majority of the time was intentionally spent learning the electronics. Forth was after I had gotten it back from the second mechanic and was a fail (motor problem). Fifth was after I got is back from the mechanic again and was a fail (continuing motor problems).
It is an electrical problem. He has confirmed that when it starts running rough, the plugs are not firing properly. I believe he is a good mechanic, but he's trying too hard to save me money by working around the issue and I would have liked a lot better communication about what the issue is before today. I told him to stop screwing around and fix it. I'm not looking for work arounds, I want reliability.
