Inboard or outboard?  Outboard is real easy to do yourself, save a ton of money

Also If I/O, drain lower unit oil and replace, in case of bad prop seal.  Remove prop and grease  prop shaft.  Store out drive in the DOWN position. For salt water application, thermostat should be changed every season.

I may be able to service you depending on my work load in the yard.
When are you looking to get this done?
Make, model, year, and type of power?
