Dick's Marine Services 32 North Pistakee Lake Road, Fox Lake, IL 60020

"They have a great inventory of hard to find random parts but are difficult to deal with unless you walk in. Don't waste your time calling them."

"If you need a part, he’s probably got it here. Just be sure you have all the information you need before you call or waste his time."

"The shop looks like a disorganized thrift shop with parts that are outdated and have been sitting on the shelves from the 80's. If you drive by and see see outside, the inside doesn't get any better. Most items have deteoriated on the shelf just due to age and neglect. Parts for semi-modern boats (meaning anything from 1990 - present) was nowhere in sight. Everything is covered in dust with no organization. Went in around 1:30 pm for a throttle cable on my kicker motor, left feeling like any time or effort spent with them was wasted time. The gentleman was reluctant to help and seemed to have outdated knowledge. Found it funny when the gentleman gave me directions to go over to search on a dusty shelf across from him by his open bag of potato chips for a reference book he needed. The deepest the conversation ever got was him letting me know he spent 12-hrs working yesterday, he's 82-yrs old and was too tired to help me. Despite 3 people waiting in line behind me, the gentleman at the next desk over never acknowledged or assisted anyone the entire time I was there."

"I loved checking this place out. They carry a ton of parts (hard to find parts as well). If they don't have it, they can search a ton of other parts dealers for anything you need. Dick, the owner, is very honest and accommodating. I will be back for sure!"
