I purchased a 2015 Ranger with. G2 in the fall of 2020. I knew when I bought it that my options for work on the motor would be limited. I debated posting this but felt I wanted to help others considering an evinrude G2 make an informed decision before purchase. I got such a great deal on my boat that I was willing to take the risk. However, I never imagined it would be this difficult to get service for the engine. I have really been happy with the motor, but have had a couple of engine codes kick out and probably need a shift solenoid.

I got on the waiting list at Rockwell Marine the day they re opened in January 2021. I was told it would be six to eight weeks to get in. That time has come and gone and I am still 130 boats deep on the waiting list. This is by no way meant as a negative post about Rockwall Marine. I have never had service done there as they are over an hour from my home. They obviously do good work as many people are waiting to get service done there. I am merely illustrating how long a potential Buyer of a G2 may have to wait for service if they have a problem.

Near my home, there is a dealer who has the ability to work on the G2. However they refuse to work on any G2 they did not sell. Ironically they sold my boat to the original owner and I bought it from him. They will not work on it because I am not the original owner,

Rockwall Marine told me the only other place they know of that work on the G2 is in eastland Texas which is towards Abilene.

So the point of this post is to offer advice to those considering purchasing the G2 to thoroughly research their service options before purchase. Warranty or no warranty doesn’t matter if you can’t get it serviced. I hope this post is taken for what it is intended. A PSA if you will.

They aren’t out of business. They just stopped production on the G2 motor.
