Default Yamaha Service Center Orange Beach

Who is the closest and easiest to deal with in the Orange Beach area. The boat is actually at Ono Island, so someone on the Pensacola side of the area may be just as easy to deal with.

Thanks

I would give Joe Blair at Pro Tech Marine a call. He's on the connector highway between canal rd. and the beach hwy and he's on Ono all the time. 251-981-8114. He's stays pretty busy so he may be a little hard to get on the phone but he's one of the best and most contientious guys in the marine biz that I've come across.

Joe is a good guy and really knows his stuff, but his #1 priority is fixing and maintaining Mercury-powered boats; mostly the go-faster crowd.

Don't know whether he does a lot of Outboard work or whether he's a dealer.

Check out Colonial Marine. The shop is East of Robertsdale on hwy. 90. The tech/owners name is Allen. If it hasn't changed, his # is 251-379-6243. Last time I had Yamaha's he was the best, fastest, and cheapest around.

You need to try the guys at Sportman's Marina. When we had problems with our new 300 Yamaha's, we were directed by the company there. They were efficient and quick.

I've used both Paradise Marine in Gulf Shores 251-968-2628 and Sportsman's 251-981-6247 both had were great. Sportsmans was a little better in price.

Joe is hard core Mercury, but if memory serves he's picked up the Yamaha diag software is starting to work on them some. Merc is very much still his baliwick but I think he's easing into yammi's

I have used Cam White(251-981-5050) at Coast Marine at Zeke's. He did some work on my Yamaha 150, I enjoyed working with him.
