Regency Boats and Motors

How does a shop that specializes in outboard motors not know how to take the top of an outboard motor?
I purchased a used Mercury 4.5 outboard from Regency a few years ago. Brought it in for repair got a call back from the technician he couldn’t get the top off. Seemed odd, as I had taken it off before I took it in. I had to explain over the phone to him how to release the two latches on sides to release it. He then told me it was too old to fix. I know it may be old it’s but not know how to take the top off is unbelievable from a shop that specializes in outboard motors.

Top notch, purchased a Achilles 280DX from them and they delivered it on time.
Great staff, would work with them again!

I’m pleased with my new motor.

I am working on yet another boat in the LA area (…so I’m addicted to boating) and having no mechanical skills I am forced to find reliable businesses to support my addiction. I remain pleased with this company because they do what they say and I have always found their work to be first rate. Yes, I have used others over the years but I’m now loyal to these guys. They are very knowledgeable and unlike others around they actually care about their customers!
I recommend Regency to all my L. A boating friends.

I have purchased several motors, and boats from them over the last 15 Yrs.
They are very experienced.
No problems.
I thought they were little high in the motor service, but when they explained all they were going to do, it became clear to me that it was not.
They have to dismantal the lower part of the motor just to install a new impeller for the water pump.
I trust my life with these guys. Wouldnt want problems after a service while out at sea.
Yes, in my 10Ft. Mercury inflatable Rib, and my 9.9 Mercury outboard!
Been to Catalina, and the channel islands in «That Thing». :)
Thanks for job well done.

These guys do a good job of taking care of the boaters here in Marina Del Rey.
I have used them for many years. Bought a Mercury outboard for my dinghy from Regency. They do a very thorough job of maintaining too. Very skilled professionals in this shop.
Not the cheapest mechanics in town. But sometimes you are willing to pay just a little bit more to get it right the first time. Like when you would be stranded at sea if it breaks down! Worth it!
If you have a boat in the marina that is 35 ft or less they can drive over to the launch ramp and Pick Up your boat on their trailer. This was very useful for me when I had a pair of 250 hp outboards needing work etc.
They stock a good amount of parts. They also sell inflatable boats. Outboards for your tender. Oils and other fluids.
They used to be on Washington near Costco. Now on the first street South of Washington Blvd. A little bit off the beaten path but that helps as you have time to pull off the road and back in your trailer etc.
Yeah. I am a fan of these guys work.
