I/O Motor
Tune-Ups

From spark plug replacement to full inboard and outboard tune-up service, Brightwell's Boathouse keeps your motor running at its best. Even if you did not purchase your boat or motor from us, we welcome your service business and will treat you as fairly as every other customer.

A properly tuned motor is the difference between a great day on the water and one spent troubleshooting at the dock. I/O motors require regular attention to maintain peak performance, fuel efficiency, and reliability. Skipping a tune-up might seem like a minor thing from season to season, but worn spark plugs, degraded fuel filters, and neglected ignition components add up quickly and can leave you with a motor that runs rough, burns more fuel, or fails at the worst possible moment.

Our tune-up service covers everything your I/O motor needs to perform the way it was designed to. Our technicians inspect and replace spark plugs, service the fuel system including filters and carburetors or fuel injection components, check and adjust timing, inspect belts and hoses, examine the impeller and cooling system, and verify that all fluid levels are correct. Every step is performed according to manufacturer specifications so your motor leaves our shop in the condition it should be in.

Our technicians attend factory training and continuing education every year, which means they understand the specific demands of the motors they work on rather than applying a one size fits all approach. That level of expertise matters when diagnosing an issue that goes beyond routine maintenance, and it means problems are caught early before they develop into something more expensive to address.

Whether you are tuning up before the season starts, addressing a performance issue you have noticed on the water, or simply staying current with your maintenance schedule, our service department in Grimes is ready to help. Contact us to schedule your I/O motor tune-up and we will get your boat running right.
