    You won't find many issues here. They seem to have the steering issues worked out also.

    My G2 has been great. I love that I can adjust the amount of power steering too.

    I have a merc 150 4stroke and the thing popped at 60hours in a tournament! Caught a 8lb for big bass and lost second because I was late... if I was gonna go new when I purchased I wanted a g2 because they seem to be good motors from everyone I’ve talked to and research. The boat I got was used so take what ya can on a good deal.

    I have 2 seasons and 120 hours on mine, only issue was an injector around 36 hours, which was covered under warranty along with a new set of plugs. took my boat from low 60's to upper 60's and I run with the 225's and 250's on the same size boats. And I still have 8 years of warranty left.

    1 year, 140 hours. Threw a couple of codes once, software update and / or the replacement of the key module fixed it.

    This is about where I am with mine, less the injector issue. As some others have stated, I did have a problem with the key switch having a dead spot in it but quickly replaced under warranty and no problems since. And 8 years left!

    Makes that big Lynx cruise down the lake like a boss! Wouldn't hesitate to do it again in a heartbeat.

    I said mine had been perfect but I too had the key replaced. It was under warranty and no other issues. Sorry, I had forgot about that.
