They are getting ready to... I am wondering how long all this should take. This is the end of the third week.

Did you click on this link? :

I searched thru 70 pages to find it for you. It gives an idea what's involved and it IS INVOLVED.

did you ask for an estimate before giving the OK to do it?

3 weeks?
not bad. most us mokanicks just sit and wait for a specific customer with a specific issue then that is all we work on.
I am currently in the process of replacing two 5.7 MPI longblocks in a 27 albermarle.
both have bad flywheel ring gears.
I have not changed a ring gear in like 25+ years so I don't stock them. gotta order them and wait for parts.
in the meantime if I don't turn in a billable hour I get no pay.
so it is off to another project while waiting.
2 techs and over 400 boats sometimes we get backed up.

Rod , did you finally get a trainee or qualified tech that met you requirements?
