on buying the new 135 HO for my new welded aluminum boat build. The local Evinrude guy suggested we wait till the boatshow time period (December/Jan) as he thinks there may be a nice promotion coming ... fingers crossed

Often there are sales incentive programs during the boat show season but there is no advance notice on either the duration or the features.

At this time there is a 7 year factory coverage until Nov 30th on new Evinrude E-TEC engines and your dealer can give you the details.

I would trust your Evinrude guy. I too was looking to repower my boat last year and was given the same recommendation to wait for the local boat show. I did, went to the show and actually talked to the Southwest Evinrude sales manager, (I'm in Austiin, TX). it was great, he answered a bunch of my questions, helped steer me with some good advice to think about, and best of all, Evinrude was running "show specials", and i got a 10 year warranty, (that was going on before the show and was one of the things that caught my attention), but at the show they were giving complete free basic rigging, (I upgraded to the higher end Binnicle for the difference in price), and a free prop of my choosing from the entire prope catalog. So, I would definately recommend a wait and see what they are doing at the show. Worked out great for me.

A 10 year factory coverage promotion starts Dec 17 and continues to March 31 of next year. You can also get free rigging and a 5 year coverage. See your dealer for details. Included in the free rigging offer are upgrades at reduced costs.

Yehaa! Thank you for the news 👍

Well my new Christmas present (to me) included the ten year warranty.

Now I wish spring would get here...

Well just found this great news. I was waiting for all Christmas and New Year festivities to end before I scheduled a re-power.

Is this a BRP promotion or just regional/local deal?

alyaz · ‎09-07-2018

Safest thing is likely to go to the Evinrude.com page. Click promotions then enter your Zip or Postal Code and it will tell you if it is available in your area. I took for granted it was a USA / Canada promotion but not sure.

30usa1, The 10 year warranty promotion is a BRP deal and is at least USA so you are covered in Alabama
