The different slant above is a good reason not to burn the first mechanic. He may well have done it right, with the second one selling you a tall tale. In a small community everyone knows everyone, so I would just wear the additional costs this time.

Use the first guy to sort out the pumps, and maybe the second guy to reset valves etc on Starboard engine, once you have run it enough to be certain it does need adjusting.

Then talk to as many other local boat owners, and yard folks as you can about who does good work. I wouldn't bag the first guy yet. He might just turn out to be someone who you can use a lot, even if you do end up confirming he doesn't know the correct valve/injector settings.
