Outboards: Maintenance, Care, & Troubleshooting
Weekend Workshop
May 3, 2025 | 9 AM–5 PM
Cost: $129 non-member, $119 member
We’ve all been there—stranded. Whether at the dock or halfway across the Strait, there is never a good time to experience outboard troubles. In this Saturday intensive, we will break down and demonstrate all the proper steps one can take to make sure that their outboard motor is in prime working order all season long. The class will be divided into four main topics: The Anatomy of an Outboard, Basic Start-Up and Operation, Troubleshooting, and Proper Winterization and Storage. Each topic will be covered with live hands-on demonstration, both in the shop and on the water. This is an opportunity to utilize years of experience to ensure you have the right tools and knowledge to make the most out of your time on the water.

Tools will be provided, though you are welcome to bring a few of your favourites.
