I found Carolina Marine and Cycle on ebay and they were selling a lower unit for a OMC outdrive I was looking for but he had the incorrect model on ebay yet he advertised to have many parts available. So I emailed Ron about the year and model I was searching for and he stated that he had one.
After several emails and my misguided trust I paid the invoice through pay pal, then Ron took several weeks to ship the product he had one excuse after another as I called him weekly inquiring about the lower units delivery.
Once I recieved the item it was not correct not even close to what was described to me (I still have all the emails) I called Ron and he acted surprised and said he would get back to me. He never called or emailed me back thus I pursued him and he stated that his son had shipped the incorrect item to me and he would re ship and send a call tag for the incorrect unit he shipped me previously.
He never followed through , quit taking my calls and refuses to answer emails from me. He is a ripoff.

Not true, I'm sure of it. You either didn't know what you were doing on ebay or you complain about everything you do. I have found this business and the guys who work there to be honest, truthful and Never ignoring a customer.

Totally wrong. You must have other issues. I have had all the Opposite you are claiming. Everyone I spoke to raves about Carolina Marine and Cycle... including myself Now. I had the best work done in an extremely fast amount of time. I was charged almost Nothing for the parts and labor.

I have done business with Ron for over 10 years and he has been nothing but honest and fair.
I have never known him to dodge any customers calls or fail to correct any wrong parts problems.
I have bought thousands of dollars in parts and motors from him and any issue was handled fast and to my satisfaction.
