Marine mechanic rates

[Juan]

What does your marine mechanic charge per hour for labor? I haven't needed a mechanic for several years but recently found a small oil leak on my Suzuki and I couldn't locate the source to fix it so I dropped it off at the local Mom and Pop Motor shop (also a Suzuki dealer) to have it located and repaired... I don't know how I missed it but the leak was nothing more than the oil filter gasket. Three years ago the marine mechanic hourly rate was $80 around here. Now it's $110. Is that about right?
Lesson learned... No more after market oil filters. OEM only from now on.

I'd say that's about fair these days, It cost us $170 at ford just to diag a fault on a vehicle last week.
