Which make of outboard? Some mechanics are better on one than the other, and also the newer style bigger outboards with ECM's are harder to work on because of the need to electronic diagnostic tools.

Just like cars, finding mechanics who work at the main dealership but do work after hours tends to be the best solution.

Yes I know of one in Mosta and One from Gozo who travels to Malta frequently, maybe he can come have a look at your engine in your garage.
I give you the Tel no if you need. They have experience in both cabed engines and the modern ones.
