I agree 100% it is far more complex sounding, but mechanically it is a
whole lot simpler. Computers are doing the same thing to boats that
they did to cars. Remember the 15,000 tuneup? That is more like
100,000 miles now.


We replaced the plugs on the Navigator at 100 000 miles, if you want
to call that a tuneup. They were still good. It needed a valve guide
at 170 000 miles.
