Re: E-TEC G2 Overheat Warnings

Thank you, I'll do that. Sorry, I misinterpreted the name of this forum.

E-TEC G2 Overheat Warnings

I have a pair of 2018 E-TEC G2 200 H.O. engines. The port engine always runs about 20 to 30-degrees-F hotter than the starboard, at my normal cruise of 3100 to 3200 rpm. Sometimes, the [port] engine will hold steady at 160-161 for a long time. Sometimes, it blows right past 160 and goes up to the hi...

Re: E-TEC G2 Private Network Cables

UPDATE: replacing the private network hub with a brand new one from Lockeman's solved the original problem immediately. No more network errors and both engines started like they did back in the good ol' days (two weeks ago). Thanks to everyone who contributed.

Re: ICON II EST Private Network Failover to Public Network

FIXED! I put the new private network hub in place, turned on the key and got no errors, and both engines fired up immediately. Now, I need to figure out how to keep that hub dry in the space in which it's installed. Zip-tie a heavy-duty plastic bag around it, with the opening facing downward? Thanks...

Re: ICON II EST Private Network Failover to Public Network

I feel like I have checked all of the wiring and all of the connectors, but I'll certainly check it all again. In a few days - after the first tropical depression of this very young hurricane season passes by. By then, I hope to have my new network hub, too.

Thanks, as always, for the suggestions.

Re: ICON II EST Private Network Failover to Public Network

No joy. As mentioned, pressing the tilt button does activate the system briefly (all the LED's on the EST flash, then just the neutral LED's flash), but during that period, neither start button turns the motor over. Now... when this problem started, the engines would turn over, but not start. Howeve...

ICON II EST Private Network Failover to Public Network

I have that read on continuouswave that on an E-TEC G2 ICON II EST remote control system, should the Private Network fail, control of starting, shifting, and throttle will failover to the NMEA2000 network. Q1: Is that true? The failover to the public network is sure not happening on my boat. My Priv...

Re: ICON Network Connectors

With enough WD-40, a little Corrosion-X, and a lot of gentle but firm twisting and pushing and pulling, I finally separated the cables from the hub. I'm now waiting on a new Private Network hub from Lockeman's, and hopefully that will solve my problem.

Re: E-TEC G2 Private Network Cables

jimh: Actually, since I have two engines, I think the pertinent diagram is on page 121 of that document. And while I do need cable 19, and hub 22, I also need two of the cables that go from the engine to the hub - and those have no part number on that document. Can you help with that?

Re: E-TEC G2 Private Network Cables

Thank you both, Phil T and jimh, for the suggestion to call Lockeman's. I will.

E-TEC G2 Private Network Cables

Give me a source for Evinrude E-TEC G2 Private Network cables and part numbers. BACK STORY I can't find the private network cables needed for the E-TEC G2 anywhere. I suspect that I have a cable problem, and the only way I know to test for that is to try replacing the cables. It's a twin-engine setu...

Re: ICON Network Connectors

...Then gently try to unthread the locking collars. Unthread them, meaning "unscrew" them? I didn't think they were a threaded-type connection. The real remedy to this problem is to keep water away from the hub and the connectors. Yeah, tell that to the bozo who installed these engines (b...

ICON Network Connectors

Q1: how in the heck do you disconnect those Evinrude-specific, silver, locking-collar ICON network connectors"? On my boat there are four Evinrude ICON network connectors. The connector inside the nice dry console works exactly like it's supposed to. The other three ICON network connectors are ...
