Putershark, when I said tune-up that was supposed to take in the older engines as well as those you plug in and check with a diagnostic machine. One of the things I plan to do is research whether it's feasible for me to buy the Suzuki book and the "diagnostic computer" necessary to check engine functions and do my maintenance myself. Unfortunately I have a distrust of yard mechanics and would rather do my own work, not for the joy of it but because I REALLY want to know that it's done EXACTLY right. I can't call AAA on the water and being broke down on the water, even with U.S. Boaters towing is a much bigger hassle.
