Evinrude opens up a big can of ugly!

Even though I own an older Johnson, I don't think there is any better looking outboard than the old Merc Tower of Power. :bigthumb:
 
The only problem I have is the digital steering. Too many things to go wrong that can leave you stranded. Wiring issue, helm problem, control module problem, hydraulic pump problem, etc. I do like the ability to get custom colors for the cowl. I've even matched up a set the goes perfectly with the light and dark blues on my Enchanter.
 
My brother was at the FLW fishing tournament earlier today. He sent me these pictures of the new Evinrude and said that the motor looks a lot better in person. The motor is on a Ranger bass boat.

It is power assist steering and will still steer hydraulically without power.
