From E-TEC two-strokes to older Johnson motors, our tune-ups include spark plug replacement, fuel system inspection, gear oil change, and a thorough cooling system flush.

We handle Mercury-compatible parts, OEM service intervals, oil changes, impeller replacements, and ignition service for both small outboards and full MerCruiser stern drives.

Our Suzuki outboard tune-ups cover standard maintenance, oil and filter changes, impeller checks, and fuel filter replacements to keep your motor ready for the season.
Annual Outboard Service — Don’t Skip the Pre-Season Tune-Up
Minnesota boating season is short — and the last thing you want is engine trouble on opening day. An annual outboard service catches small problems before they become expensive repairs. Our techs check compression, test ignition systems, inspect cooling lines, and replace wear items so you’re fully ready when the ice goes out.
We recommend scheduling your annual tune-up in late winter or early spring to beat the rush. Drop-off and pick-up options are available at our St. Paul shop.
