Evinrude Etec 75

Hi, can anyone confirm that the 5 year warranty on the Etec is for parts and labour or is it 2 years parts and labour then 3 years parts only?
Cheers.

Good question. I'm glad you have posted this it's something that I have not thought of.

I hope it's the former.

It depends, if it's a recent engine with the factory 5 year warranty, then it's full parts & labour for the 5 years (non-declining). Previous to the introduction of the 5 year warranty, they came with 3 years non-declining. The changeover was around 2009. Either way, it's a "non-declining" warranty which means what you get on day one continues to the end of the warranty period.

Engine was purchased around May 2008. Came with 5 year warranty.

[Pikey Dave]

As long as it's a genuine BRP warranty & not an aftermarket/dealer warranty, then 5 years non-declining it is. Lucky you, I only got 3 years.

Thanks for your input. I guess we need to check with the dealer. On another note, what's your experience with the injectors? Are they prone to failure and do they really cost about £600 each?

[Pikey Dave]

Touch wood, not had a problem. No idea regarding cost, I hope I don't have to find out.
Do I take it you've got problems?
Most of the injector failures seem to be fuel related. Early injectors had electrical problems due to manufacturing faults, but these were rectified.

[ribsta]

Had one injector go. Part replaced under warranty but heard they are £600 each which is a worry.

What filters do you have in your fuel system?

Did they give you any indication of what caused the failure?

[ribsta]

Yep, a filter/water separator. I don't think the issue has been fuel quality.
