So my partner needs a new compressor for his 2005 opti. Has anyone here had to replace there compressor. Is it something that can be done by us. He was quoted $1200. is this about right. Thanks

Rodent just had to have his done...04 and so did Bruizer recently think his was 04 also. Both were round 1200 or so. Don't know aout the ease of doing it ourself.

Had it done to my '04 last year. It was $1200 at the old Galaxie Marine. Not too sure about DIY.

I replaced mine last year. It was pretty straight forward. Just make sure you label all your hoses. I also took about ten pictures with my digital camera at different angles.

Capital City Marine matched an online price I recieved. I don't THINK I paid over $800 for the part.

Here the steps I took to remove my compressor:
- Label Hoses
- Remove belt
- Remove hoses
- Remove nut(s) and bolts
- Remove compressor
- Remove pully and install on new compressor

You will now be ready to install the new compressor.

I have a 06 opti and the compressor just went out 4 weeks ago, a good friend said take it to C & C in modesto they would treat me right. Well he was 100% correct, they did a great job and got me back on the water ASAP!!!!!! I was very pleased from the time i dropped my boat off and when I picked it up. I know for myself i will only go to C & C from now on.
