power steering problem yet again

Adam9066 · ‎05-31-2017

I am having steering problems with my 2016 g2 engines yet again. This is the 5th time since August they will have been at the dealer to have the steering fixed. I cant even take the boat offshore because im afraid I will lose my steering and I am so discusted with the boat I dont even want to use it. I am constantly having problems with the engines and this is to the point of being crazy the engines only have 181 hours on them.

I would not recomend an evinrude to anyone I know after owning these.

We are sorry to hear that your steering has not been fixed completely and that the root cause was not corrected. That is surprising as the power assisted steering is one of the most liked features of the Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboards and works very well.

Please accept our apologies and send an email to http://www.brp.com/en/forms/contact-us.html with the engine serial number, dealer name, and the history of the motor. Evinrude will look into it for you.

I had my G2 steering rebuilt a few times with weeks of downtime and haulout fees and trailer rental.

They finally sent a whole new steering unit which would certainly indicate they know there was a problem.

The new one won't overcome the torque of the prop when coming out of the hole so no steering during that period.

I have had two other friends with G2 steering issues.

They KNOW there is a problem

There should be no loss of steering assist when coming up on plane. Ask your tech to contact Evinrude dealer support for assistance. You can also send an email with the serial number, dealer name, and what the symptoms are along with what has already been done.

I still am having steering issues. I haven't used the boat all summer as I am sick of the **bleep** thing its annoying to.keep taking the boat to the dealer and having to pay the dealer to fix a problem that they don't actually fix.

I will never buy another evinrude I spent 50k+ on these motors and they are unusable and evinrude could careless.

BluewaterBill · ‎07-14-2011

We are sorry that the steering problems have not been fixed.

Why should you be paying a dealer for the repairs when they are warranty related? If the steering problems are due to contamination or residue from the boat's hydraulic steering system, then the boat's steering component repair would not be Evinrude's responsibility.

Please contact Evinrude again and explain your situation.
