I bought a new Z20 in June with the new 250 Merc 4 stroke motor. Has run fine until about four weeks ago. Out fishing, cranked up to move to another spot. Ran about 500 yards then solid alarm and motor shut down. On my Vessel View App the fault read electronic shift problems. I made it back to the launch, loaded up and went home. Brought boat to Cabelas, showed them the fault, and later that day they called and said she was fixed and running fine. Have had a trip to Alabama planned for a year. Without running my boat after said “fix”, just to see if it was ok (busy with work), I took off to Alabama last week on my trip. Launched at Guntersville, solid alarm immediately, no power and wouldn’t shift into forward or reverse. That night I did some research. (Not a lot written on this subject), but did find out for certain serial numbers, Merc 250 Pro XS, there’s a recall on the electronic shift actuator. Couldn’t find one locally so limped back home and brought it back to my local Cabelas. Told them how disappointed I was in their negligence, the money I spent on my three day tournament I didn’t get to fish, and asked them WHY, IF YOU KNEW THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME SHIFT ACTUATORS AND YOU SAW THE FAULT ON MY VESSEL VIEW, DID YOU NOT CHANGE IT OUT FOR ME??? Very sheepish response and it just confirmed in my mind that some folks just don’t care about their job and/or their productivity. I have in the last day or two talked to one other fellow who experienced with his new motor, the same situation. By the way, my motor didn’t fall into the recalled serial numbers, yet that’s what the problem was… faulty shift actuator. They get water in them and begin corroding and shorting out. I know this is a long post, but I’m wondering how many of you out there have had this problem, and after the repair has the problem been remedied? Thanks for reading, and let me hear from you about this. Thanks
