Evinrude EMM Repair

Hardware Care is the specialist for Evinrude E-TEC and Ficht EMM repairs. Fixed price. No cure, no pay. 24-month warranty.

* ex. VAT

Sending your EMM from the US

United States Posting the only EMM you own to a workshop 4,000 miles away gives people pause. Here is what actually happens.

Shipping

No customs hassle. DHL Express collects at your door and brings it back, typically 2–3 business days each way. We book it and do the paperwork.

How shipping works

Across the ocean

Tracked and insured both ways, on our DHL account. If anything goes wrong in transit, the claim is ours to chase, not yours.

What you pay

€532 or €596, plus shipping and card fees. E-TEC 40–90 HP is €532, E-TEC 115–300 HP and Ficht €596, fixed before we start. No EU VAT outside the EU. Shipping is quoted for your address before you commit.

If it can't be repaired

You pay nothing for the repair. Only the shipping, at cost. A unit that tests completely fine: €175.

How no cure, no pay works

Warranty

24 months on every repair. Double the 12 months BRP gives on a new module.

Talk to us

Before you ship, and all the way through. A call before anything leaves, answers while we work, and your own tracking page once the module is here. We work in English all day; our afternoon is your morning.

Why send your EMM to Hardware Care?

We repair Evinrude E-TEC and Ficht EMMs in our workshop in Nieuwkuijk, the Netherlands, and test every unit under load before it goes back.

  • 24 months on every repair

    If an EMM we repaired stops working within two years, we put it right at no extra cost and send it back by DHL Express. BRP gives 12 months on a new module.

    Read the warranty terms
  • DHL Express, both ways

    DHL Express collects the EMM at your door and brings it back repaired. From outside the EU it travels on our account and we prepare the customs papers.

    How shipping works
  • If we can't fix it, you don't pay for the repair

    We bench-test the unit and tell you plainly whether it can be repaired. If it is beyond repair, the attempt costs you nothing and you pay only the shipping, at cost.

Fast, kept well informed, fixed the issue. Had to pay VAT charge when importing back to the UK which I hadn't factored into the costs, but still better value than a new one.

How an EMM repair works

You fill in a form and send us the module. We do the rest from our workshop in Nieuwkuijk, in the Netherlands, including the customs paperwork if it comes from outside the EU.

Send us your EMM
  1. Fill in the repair form

    It asks for the engine model, the serial and part number from the sticker on the EMM, and what the engine is doing. A module that tests fine is charged €175 ex VAT for the bench time, so if you are not sure the EMM is at fault, book a free troubleshooting call first.

  2. Pack it and ship it to us

    Inside the EU you can send it with any tracked carrier. From outside the EU it always travels on our DHL Express account: we book the collection and prepare the customs documents, you pack the module and hand it to the driver.

    EU: any tracked carrier. Everywhere else: DHL Express.

    Shipping and customs by country
  3. We test it on the bench and repair it

    We put it on our test bench under real load to find the fault, repair it at component level, test it again and re-seal it by vulcanizing. If it is beyond repair, the attempt costs you nothing and you pay only the shipping, at cost.

    Fixed price: €532 ex VAT for E-TEC 40–90 HP, €596 ex VAT for E-TEC 115–300 HP and Ficht.

    Follow your repair online
  4. Pay the invoice and we ship it back

    When the repair is done we send the invoice. Once it is paid, the module goes back by DHL Express, tracked and insured. Most repairs leave the workshop within 1–2 weeks of arriving.

    24-month warranty on the whole EMM.

Why repair beats buying new

A professional repair brings your own EMM back to reliable condition, for a fraction of the price of a new module, and with twice the warranty.

Why Dr Evinrude sends his EMMs to us

Johan de Konink, known as Dr Evinrude, is an independent Evinrude specialist. From his own workshop he helps Ficht and E-TEC owners all over the world with the mechanical side of their engines. When a job comes down to the EMM or the electronics, he works with us. In his own words:

Our collaboration is unique: I focus on the mechanical side, while they specialize in the electronic brain. We are in constant communication to get people back on the water as quickly as possible. I test EMM modules on real engines under full load out on the water and report my findings back to them. In return, I supply mechanical parts for their highly advanced test rigs.
