Default Outboard mechanic help

Hello, I would appreciate if someone can recommend a reputable mechanic who can service small outboards in Northern NJ. I have a Yamaha 4 stroke and Nissan 2 stroke. Any help is appreciated

do you guys generally perform seasonal maintenance on your outboards on your own or take it to professionals? i am very new to this, bough my first small 3.5hp 4 stroke motor this year. was thinking about doing the maintenance myself. i change my own oil and do basic maintenance on my cars so figured this couldn't be too different.

I change the shaft gear oil every season, but don't do much beyond that. My current motor hasn't needed work yet, but I took a previous one to the former Franks in Wanaque (I think it's now called Tackle and Field) for several repairs. I think Frank still works there and does the motor repair. I have no complaints about his work.
