What You’ll Need for a Tune Up Aside from Outboard Oil

boat-motor-oil-300x225Properly maintaining your outboard engine means having regular maintenance that will extend the life of the engine. At *least* once a year, owners should tune up their outboard motor. You should follow the owners manual your specific model came with before trying to tune yours. However, there are some materials every model will need.

You will need outboard oil, soft cloths, lower-unit lubricant, fresh fuel, replacement spark plugs, and waterproof marine grease. All of these materials can be bought online or at a marine store. Some of the tools that will make your tune up easier will be the owner’s manual, a screwdriver, adjustable wrench, and pliers.

Mercury Engine Oil Fuels Boating Experiences

012There’s really nothing better than taking your boat out on a warm day. A lot of people ask me how it is I enjoy boating considering I’m not really interested in fishing. Some of my friends are big fishermen and whenever they take their boats out, they’re usually doing it just to go fishing. Personally, I’ve never been a big fan of fishing but I love being out on the water.

Sometimes I’ll take the boat somewhere that I can swim around or I’ll just cruise around in my boat for a while. I think that you can have a lot of fun in a boat even if you aren’t going fishing. Because I like taking my boat out so often, I always make certain to keep everything ready with its maintenance, and I keep stocked up on Mercury engine oil to keep things running smoothly.
