So i have a blown piston on my 2009 200 H.O... contacted a mechanic, he contacted his parts supplier and hey said Evinrude has a patent on their parts and only Evinrude dealers can have parts and work on engines that are 10 years or younger... isnt that weird? The guy I contacted is a BRP/Evinrude certified mechanic not some joe blow...
So with my 2009 that has less then 300 hours on it my only option is to pay the big price on parts :( hopefully i dont need a new powerhead!
