Evinrude Reinforces Commitment to Honor Factory-Backed Coverage on Evinrude E-Tec and E-Tec G2 Engines
Published: Sunday, July 5, 2020
Evinrude reinforced their commitment to customers that the company will continue to support its E-TEC and E-TEC G2 engine customers well into the future. With over 1,000 dealers and distributors globally, the brand will continue to honor manufacturer limited warranties and extended service contracts and will supply customers and dealers with service parts as needed.
While it was announced that production of outboard engines will cease at the Sturtevant facility, there are production plans to build inventory of parts and accessories necessary to support the outboard engine currently in market. Along with the dealer inventory, the company also has enough inventory to ensure customers who have ordered an engine will receive their units in a timely manner.
“We understand with the recent announcement many owners have questions and concerns on how this decision will impact where to go for services, parts or how their current warranty coverage will be affected. Although we have re-organized our BRP Marine business model to focus on emerging technologies with our boat brands, we are committed to supporting our customers and dealers through this transition,” said Karim Donnez, senior vice president Marine Group, IS&T and Global Transformation. “Rest assured, our priority is to ensure your Evinrude engine will receive the parts and maintenance expertise from our authorized dealer network and our support teams will continue to be there to support our valued Evinrude owners.”
Current owners are encouraged to continue working with their local Evinrude dealer for all warranty related maintenance and service. Outboard enthusiasts that are looking to purchase Evinrude E-TEC or E-TEC G2 outboard engines can take advantage of the Evinrude Factory Authorized Clearance Event; an aggressive retail promotion that includes three-years of non-declining, 100% factory-backed extended service coverage in addition to a competitive instant rebate. Please see your local Evinrude dealer for more details.

Announced May 27, BRP made the decision to discontinue production of Evinrude outboard engines citing the impact of COVID-19. The company intends to focus their growth on its boat brands—Manitou, Alumacraft, and Telwater—developing them alongside new technology and innovative marine products.
