I hear similar stories for others.

Bass River in East Dennis did the re-install/repair in late '04.
I wouldn't let them do the install, I was just saying they are a high volume Internet dealer that stocks tons of I/O stuff. I stopped there once and they have mountains of motors. You are the 3rd one not happy with thier install that I have read about. If you can install it yourself you could save a little from them due to the lower prices but if you want to have it installed too i would not worry with price and go with the local guy that you know that will do you right.
