Spark plugs
Spark plugs inspected and replaced, one of the simplest ways to restore smooth starting and running.
Scheduled maintenance
Tune-Ups
A tuned engine runs smoother, starts easier, and burns less fuel than one that has been left to drift out of adjustment. American Marine's tune-ups check the parts and settings that affect day to day performance, so your engine runs the way it is supposed to every time you head out.
What's included
Every Part Affects How Your Boat Runs
Fuel filter & fuel system
Fuel filters replaced and the fuel system checked, so contaminants are not left to affect performance.
Timing & carburetion
Ignition timing and carburetion or fuel injection settings checked and adjusted for the way your engine is supposed to run.
Performance check
Idle speed and wide open throttle RPM checked against manufacturer specification to confirm the engine is performing as it should.
Why it matters
Why a Tune-Up is Not Just a Formality
Small adjustments add up
An engine that is slightly out of tune rarely fails outright, it just runs a little rougher, burns a little more fuel, and wears a little faster, all of which add up over a season.
Fuel economy is a performance issue
A well tuned engine gets more out of every gallon of fuel, which matters over the course of a season of boating.
Catch wear before it becomes a repair
A tune-up is also a chance to spot developing issues, a fouled plug or a worn part, before they turn into a bigger repair.
