    Warranty Feedback

    Like many of you I was very concerned when Evinrude announced their exit from the outboard business. Among other things I was worried about whether they would really provide good warranty service going forward.

    The lower unit of my 2016 G2 250 HO failed a couple days before Christmas. The dealer submitted my warranty claim right before they shut down for the holidays. I was afraid I'd be off the water for much of January. However a replacement lower unit was shipped right after New Years and I was back fishing January 8.

    I don't know what warranty service will be like a few years from now, but I was very happy with how they handled my case. Just thought I'd share some positive feedback.

    FYI the motor had 371 hours and had been very well maintained. I have lower unit service performed every year. The dealer said it was unclear why it failed.

    I actually don't run mine particularly hard. I fish some smaller lakes and typically cruise in the mid 50's -60 unless I am in a real hurry. Dealer said its only the second one they have seen fail.

    I love to hear this. I love my G2 and I'm keeping it. I hope BRP stands behind my 10 year warranty. It's good to see they took care of you.
