761.0. "TUNEUP shops ! Worth it or not ?" by OK4ME::OSTIGUY (Secure it or SHARE it) Tue Oct 02 1990 15:26

    I was looking for information on Tuneups but it does not
    exist as a KEYWORD.
    
    Do any of you take you boats into the Ashland Marina
    (or boat yard) for such work annually ?
    
    What does it cost (approx.) ?
    
    What kind of work and service do they provide.
    
    This one in Ashland is located on rt 126 accross
    from Marconi's !

761.1I think not.ULTRA::BURGESSMad man across the waterWed Oct 03 1990 11:1311
	NOT !

	That's a general sweepingization, I know, but.....

	Far more  "worth while"  and worth the money is the shop manual 
and basic tune up tools  - -  also generally useful for fixing cars &
trucks, etc.

	R	{opinions and mileage will likely vary}

761.2try these keywordsAIMHI::CPOTTERFri Oct 05 1990 13:2310
    Don't know anything about the Ashland Marina, but...
    
    try looking under the keyword "maintenance".  If you're like me,
    you  try to combine your trips to the shop for tuneups with
    your trips in for winterization.  If that's the case then the
    keyword "winterize" may have some info as well.  As I recall
    both contained good info for DIY'ers, so the suggestion in 
    the previous response (get a shop manual) and the info under
    these keywords, may be all you'll need...
    
761.3Where can I find someone who could tuneup my boat?LUDWIG::FISHERWed Apr 24 1996 12:0111
    Hi, 
    
       I just purchased a 69 sport craft boat and 1975 evinrude outboard
    motor last week. I wanted to have it tune up. I called  and they don't
    do work on old model. Is that true? I live in Hudson, Ma. If you know
    someone who will do it, let me know ,pls!
    
    thanks,
