We contacted him direct and asked if he could look at our Mercury 9.9HP outboard. He said yes and we set a date. I explained that our ob had been running fine until we took it on a long bumpy ride. It suddenly began running very poorly. Esteban systematically reviewing our symptoms and then started checking our ob. Carb and jets. Tank hose and primer. Fuel pump. Spark plugs and ignition wires. In the end new spark plugs got us running again. He is a very personable and giving person. He charged us a fair price and made sure we were operating again. Thank you Esteban!

We needed a two year service on our outboard and I don’t like to change engine and lower gear oil over the water (the outboard is pretty much permanently connected to the dinghy – centre console). They came over and dropped off one of their staff who got in the dinghy with me to travel across the harbor (Papeete) to a boat ramp on the other side and they had a truck and trailer there to pull me out and take it to their service department. They then drove me back to Papeete Marine. The next day they delivered the dinghy back to Papeete marina and I then took them back to the boat ramp where we paid the bill. We tried to tip them but they refused. They are pretty much French only, so unless you speak French, find someone does to book your appointment. We got Franko at the marina to do that for us. Great service.

We have bought some parts from him. He doesnt speak English though. At the very end of the parking lot (by the recycling area), there is a couple of houses. You’ll see outboard box covers outside. Usually children playing outside.

I didn’t motice that, and just took my outboard to Yamaha dealers without asking for Jerome. It was returned a week later with 3 parts damaged/broken that were not that way when I gave it to them. I contacted Jerome at the Yamaha place, he took charge, had the men come get it again, and had everything fixed. Jerome is a ‘must’ when using Yamaha dealers/service in Papeete! 11- 2021: SV Sugar Shack Our Enduro 25hp outboard stopped shifting in reverse. Matt diagnosed the problem which was a lost, broken or damaged cotter pin on the shifting mechanism. Unfortunately, you had to completely take off the entire motor/powerhead to get to this part. We stopped by the Yamaha Repair location (next to Nautisport and just down the road from the Yamaha dealership) and spoke to Jerome (he speaks English). They said it would take a long while to get the parts (due to covid), so we ordered them and had them brought in with a guest. Jerome picked up our outboard from Marina Taina (in front of the Fluid Dive center), had it repaired and returned to us within 2 days. In addition, they replaced our spark plugs and changed the oil. The labor was a little more than we anticipated and the pickup/delivery was 7000xpf. We could have dinghied from Marina Taina to their shop, but then would have had no way to get it to their shop on land. Overall, very pleased with their service, turnaround, and work. Super friendly, easy to work with, and they do what they say they are going to do! Revatua Island: Bora Bora 📍 GPS decimal degrees: Lat -16.502455, Lon -151.751260 GoogleMaps OpenStreetMap One time, my dinghy flipped over during a wind storm. I visited with “Taxi Motu Marine.” The owner said he could not work on it immediately, and obviously there was an immediate need. He allowed me to work directly with his mechanic, who was very professional, methodical, and together, we went through the motor, cleaned out everything, flushed the cylinder, all the parts, etc… and when done, I felt like the motor had the best service of its life. Their Facebook page is: 🌐 www.facebook.com/taximotu/ The mechanic’s direct number was (from July 2021): 📞 +68987375990 The mechanic’s name was Revatua. I would try his number first, and see if you can reach him. (If so, please PM me to confirm. He was great.)
