    2021 Pro XS blown power head

    My fishing buddy and I just blew up a 2021 250 pro xs. Two giant holes in the block. Here is my question so we can figure something out. How long is it going to take in today's world to get a new powerhead? It's obviously under warranty, but we are concerned on the availability of parts. We just qualified for the US Open championship this fall and want to start making plans...
    Thanks!!

    I read over 25 months. So going to have to find one that is already in line but not sold yet. Probably full price and then some too.

    I would expect with a warranty repair that a new powerhead will come in weeks rather than months. A whole new outboard for a repower is another story.

    Please take a moment to review the Announcements at the top of the Forum, and provide the REQUIRED Info when posting (serial number). Thanks!

    Hate to hear this... the good news is that the wait for a powerhead really shouldn't be too excessive. Warranty SERVICE Orders do take priority.

    Brent how about some pictures of the carnage? MFG date of engine and hours?
    Let us know what the shop diagnosis is for what caused it.

    Brent: As mentioned earlier, Please see the Announcements at the top of the Forum, and provide the REQUIRED Info when posting. That would be the engine serial number.
