I need to get my engine serviced. Does anyone know of anyone or any place in the GNO area? Thanks

Hope it's just a tune up because it could be a 'good luck' thing if any parts are needed.

I havent had any issue with parts availability yet.

Boat stuff in Hammond, ask if Dennis still works there. Hes an etech guru

Dennis retired, and boat stuff won't touch a Evinrude anymore. Magnum Outboard in Harvey is about the only people who will still work on them.

Mais nooooooooooooooooo

I figured it wouldn't be long. Last time I had my boat there was probably 2022 or so, and he didnt sound super excited about working on mine

BRP really screwed us etech owners. Got me a good deal on my boat but I wish it would magically transform into a 300 yamaha.

Dunno but the warranty imo was a dead givaway to brp’s staying power in the market. Plenty guides bought them for the warranty and gave them away later.

Grandpa had an Evinrude snowmobile. He pulled a trailer with it and we would haul firewood from up in his woods down to the wood shed.

It was SLOW. But that thing would plow through any show with a trailer load of oak and kids.

I had a buddy that went to 4 different dealer service depts and none of them would touch his Evinrude.

Hell they probably had 3 years worth of warranty work backlogged and didn't have time. I have a 2017 Merc 60 HP tiller on my duck boat and Mercury still doesn't have a $.19 diode available that is in the ignition circuit of every mercury outboard built since the late 70s in stock. I made one for mine - If Mercury had one they wanted $29 for it 5 years ago...and have made several for other people. Modern outboards are marvels but they are far more service hungry than older outboards were or are....
