2001 Evinrude 250 HP FFI Problems

I called DFI this morning to make sure the EMM got there, don't need the computer lost. Anyway talk to the tech guy and he said it sounded like a component failure in the computer. He also said they will make sure nothing elses fails or keep it from failing again and upload the latest software. The turn around time was even quicker, it possible to have the EMM repaired today or tomorrow at the latest.

Glad to hear this, fingers crossed for you.
 
Just got off the phone with DFI, my EMM is repaired and I'll have it back on Friday. Great customer service!!!!!
 
The guy told me that a diode wasn't firing so they replaced it and updated the software. I get a 100hr/1 yr warranty. I'll have to update the computer again in 200hrs, I think the reason is the EMM has only 34 hrs.
 
The EMM is out for delivery, now I gotta find the UPS guy to speed up the process. Once the EMM back on and everything checks out, I'm headed to the lake for a test run this weekend.:banana:

I haven't gotten the other supplies yet, we don't have many Evinrude dealers around. I'll probably order those online. Thanks once again for the help, I appreciate it!!!:thumb:
 
Robie,

Were you able to get out on the water this weekend? I didn't see a post
about how you made out other than getting it fired up.
