Just wondering where folks are getting there outboards serviced in Galway now that Duffys of Headford is closed. Such a shame really. I need to get my outboard serviced but would prefer if anyone on here could recommend someone. Cheers.

Hi doonin I moved your thread here where you might have better luck, the only one I know of is
Garry Kenny Palmerston Stores Portumna 090 9741071 maybe some of the others will know of more.

Thanks Fergal!! Portumna is a bit of a trek with the boat for a service but Ill keep it in mind if nothing closer comes up. Cheers.

Cheers, sent out an email to them so Ill see what comes back. Has anyone ever tried Ivors in the City or Marine World..

What outboard is it maybe I could talk you through doing it yourself it's mainly the impeller, gear oil and spark plugs so if you have basic mechanical skills and a toolbox it should be handy enough.

O Connors in Cong will service it, only 15 min from Headford. Couldn’t meet nicer men

Fair play to ye Fergal, its a Suzuki DF60. I would be a novice on the mechanical side but think I could manage it as ive all the tools ( i think!) . No harm I suppose knowing the engine inside out especially when your a few miles out in the Atlantic!!!

This should get you started, Your impeller part number is 17461-87E11 if it looks bad and worn inside it would be worth buying an impeller kit something like this. https://www.ebay.ie/itm/SUZUKI-OUTBOARD-WATER-PUMP-IMPELLER-KIT-DF60-70-4-STROKE-MOTOR-ENGINE-/192137866720. You can buy these in your local marine shop " if you find one"

or from Marine Parts Direct.

You will be using (SAE #90 hypoid gear oil) again most marine shops will have the little tube that goes from the bottle to the filling hole.
