Davbuff Loc: Wendell NC

Hi, I’m davbuff and I live in Wendell NC, just outside of Raleigh. I run a 2000 TR21 Triton with a 225 Yamaha, Lowrance electronics, 80# Minn Kota Foretrex trolling motor.
Even though I’m only 30 minutes from Falls Lake, I fish all the other local lakes as well: Jordan, Sherron Harris, Kerr, Gaston, Belews, Buckhorn in Wilson County, as well as a lot of the down east rivers and lakes such as Lake Phelps, Chowan, Roanoke, Little Alligator, and Scuppernong Rivers.
I fish in two different bass clubs; Carolina Crankers Bass Club of which I helped organize back in 1990. Also I fish with the Hard Luck Bass Club of which fish during week days which works great for a retiree such as myself. You avoid the weekend crowds.
I’d like suggestions for locating a good marine mechanic near me preferably that specializes in older Yamaha’s, such as the OX66???? Seems that the demand is exceeding the supply.

Welcome Davbuff: I believe you will fit right in and contribute fishing lore and advice. We are a large group with a lot of variety. Some, like me are over the hill but regret having to admit it. I expect there will others along with answers to your question about Yamaha's. Just Sayin...RJS

Thanks Robert for the welcoming remarks. I’m normally one to sit toward the back of the church and listen to the preacher but hopefully I’ll find things of equal interest and can contribute to different forums.
