Post Where to get Briggs warrantied in Wisconsin?
I have a PD36 and the Case is leaking...just over 100 hours, and less than 2 years old. I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can take it to for warranty work around SE Wisconsin...

The boat doc in Lomira is right off 41 they are a pro drive dealer and should be able to do the work. They are the closest Mud Motor dealer that I know of.

Yea..I called the boat doc, they said that they only do maintenance on prodrives...so it looks like I'm taking a drive. Probably take it back to illowa where I bought it from...thanks for your input

Buy the mechanic a case of beer and get him to swap it while he's in there. Top secret of course. :lol:

I have a briggs dealer a at the end of the street I'm guessing most small lawn shops like mine would take a case of beer and make the swap if not offer two. Where in SE wi are you I know a good family shop that I've dealt with for over 10 years with riding lawn mowers and such. I would take my stuff there before taking it to the guy a block down the road.

Puddler...I just got off the phone with marks marine... Not a Briggs dealer. I live in the Milwaukee area. I guess I'm looking for a place that have some experience with mud motors and some room for a boat...

I am just outside city of milwaukee as well. Its going to be a hike for any of us in this part of the state to find a briggs dealer that deals with boats. the duramax got down to Palo, IA and back on a tank when I picked up my boat but it still sucks at $4/gal. Luckily I havent had any issues my warranty is up at the end of August.

Might as well have them throw an efi kit on there right away! I plan on taking a ride this summer to have them throw one on mine ;)

I'm kinda surprised Josh and the gang at the Boat Doc can't fix it...
