Tune your Evinrude without shipping anything
Your EMM never leaves the boat. You stay at the dock with a laptop and a diagnostic cable, and we reflash it to the higher HP live — the same upgrade as our mail-in service, done remotely in one session.
- Nothing to ship or insure
- Same rated-HP unlock as mail-in
- Done in a single live session
Based in the US or Canada?
Nothing ships overseas. We do the entire tune remotely and live, right at your own dock, and your EMM never leaves the boat. You get the exact same upgrade as a customer down the road from our workshop.
How a remote tune works
One scheduled session, start to finish. You are at the boat; we run the reflash.
Check eligibility
Send us your EMM part number. We confirm your block supports the upgrade, usually within hours.
Get your cables
You need a diagnostic and a bootstrap cable. Use your own or buy them from us — we ship them out ahead of the session.
Book your session
Pick a time that suits you. You are at the boat with a laptop; we connect and run the reflash while you watch.
Full power, same session
The EMM is reflashed in place to the higher HP. Nothing to reinstall — your data and settings stay exactly as they were, and it is real power, not just a different number on the display.
What you need for a remote session
A remote tune is a live session, so a few things have to be ready before we connect. We send a full checklist when you book.
Miss one of these and the session can't run — we confirm everything with you before scheduling, so nothing is wasted.
-
A Windows laptop
At the boat, with the tuning software installed. We send a download link and setup steps beforehand.
-
Diagnostic + bootstrap cable
Both are required to read and reflash the EMM. Bring your own or buy them from us.
-
Internet at the dock
Wi-Fi or a phone hotspot is fine — we connect to your laptop during the session.
-
A charged battery
The EMM must stay powered throughout. A healthy, charged battery avoids a failed flash.
-
About an hour, at the boat
Set aside time with the engine accessible. Most sessions are done well within the hour.
