Was told 800 for all by person got from. Where can I get it done quickly and cheaply around ontario or kawartha lakes, and do I have to replace all if only one piston gone
Well i am afraid that your engine repair is not so much parts expensive but labor expensive,and NO you don`t have to replace all pistons and rings,only the ones damaged but while the engine is torn down it would be a good idea to replace the rings on all pistons since the engine is nearly 10 years old and the compression will be way down on those other cylinders and you want to keep them balanced if at all possible.
I was born in the Kawarthas and spent nearly 25 years as a marine mechanic up there and since I`m not there I will give the second best mech.lol.Take your boat to Gannon's Narrows Marine just outside of Buckhorn and talk to Warren,He is one of the best OMC mechanics I have ever met.He will treat you fairly and the work will be done as quickly as possible.
Good luck and happy boating

you'll need to bore the bad cylinder, but you can change only the one piston is the others are good.

The bad cylinder has to be bored or sleeved. Only the bad piston has to be replaced, however with a different size, same weight piston. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS YOURSELF. Unfortunately there is no cheap route for this. The powerhead has to be removed, torn down and properly diagnosed. Also the cause of the failure must be found and fixed.
In addition to this a quality MARINE mechanic will also replace the water pump impeller and rebuild the carbs.
This is very labor intensive and will cost anywhere from $4,000.00 to $6,500.00 if done right.
