Don't want to wait? Buy a refurbished EMM

A repair means sending us your module and waiting for it to come back. With a refurbished exchange unit from our stock, we ship a fully tested EMM straight away, so your engine is running again in days, not weeks.

  • Ships from stock
  • Fully bench-tested
  • 24-month warranty

Two ways to get a working EMM

Both options give you a fully functional, warranty-backed module. The difference is time and price.

Repair your own EMM

Most economical
  • You send us your original module
  • Repaired at component level
  • Lowest price
  • Turnaround depends on the queue

Refurbished exchange unit

Fastest
  • Ships from our stock right away
  • Fully refurbished & bench-tested
  • +€300 over a standard repair
  • Back on the water in days

A few points to take into account

A refurbished exchange unit is the fastest route, but there are a few things to be aware of first.

Subject to our stock

Refurbished units are sold from the stock we have on the shelf. Availability depends on the exact part number for your engine, so always check with us before you count on one being ready to ship.

+€300

€300 more than a repair

You pay roughly €300 on top of the standard repair price. That premium covers the speed and convenience of receiving a ready, tested unit instead of waiting for your own module to be repaired.

We need your engine data file

To program the unit for your boat we need your engine data file, which may include injector data, oil data and the engine serial number. If your engine has ever been connected to the Evinrude diagnostic software, this data usually already exists and you simply provide it.

What is an EDF?
No data file available? We can recover it, but that requires extra work, a €100 surcharge applies.

A unit that performs like new

Component-level refurbishment

Worn and failure-prone components are replaced, not just patched, so the module is restored to reliable condition.

Full simulation bench test

Every unit is tested on our simulation bench under realistic load before it leaves the workshop.

Programmed for your engine

The module is configured with your engine data file so it runs your outboard correctly out of the box.

24-month warranty

The same trusted 24-month warranty as our repairs, twice the cover a brand-new unit comes with, plus worldwide DHL Express shipping.

Refurbished, not second-best

A refurbished module does the same job as a brand-new one, for about half the price and twice the warranty.

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.

2008 Evinrude E-Tec 60hp: All the EMM repair shops in the U.S. said this "EMM could not be repaired and that my engine is trash". I reached out to Hardware Care; they stepped me through their process and I'm sure glad I...
