Thoughts on the need of a Spring tuneup?

[Hoffer]

So, I have a 2004 merc 75HP. It was always well taken care of by the prior owner and I have had it for 2 full Summers. I do all the stuff in the Fall like fogging, changing lower unit oil etc...

In the Spring I usually just change the plugs and thats about it. However, I am heading to canada again this Spring for about a week - and would like to make sure everything is running smoothly.

I was thinking about bringing it in for a Spring tune up. But what would "they" do that I dont? Do you guys usually get a Spring tuneup done? If so, what is a decent price to look for? I have no idea?

Thanks for any advice and feedback

Every other year I take my boat to a dealer to have the fuel filters checked and changed. Then I also have them check the water pump and also check the computer for any codes.

If they do not find any codes, then I feel its ready to go.

I typically change plugs every year, grease it, pack wheel bearings and pull the prop to check for fishing line.

Then I wash and shampoo the carpet and wax the boat, motor and trailer.

I also check the winch strap and also the two straps from the trailer to the boat in tha back.
