Karen,

You should have a look at the latest version of "Power Boat Reports"
which has an article on their ongoing testing of the "fixed Fichts".

According to the article therein, they experienced "not one hiccup"
during testing so far in a variety of conditions. The motors (there
were two) were not babied.

This means nothing & is typical marketing spruik.

"Only" 1 in 5 fichts failed but that's way too many if it's 1 in 100
it's still too many.

If they were "babied" it would more likely bring up the conditions that
lead to detonation, long light load at the upper end of the lean mixture
rev range, then a fairly quick return to full power & mixture.

This hopefully final attempt to suck money out of consumers will end
the same as all previous Ficht experiments, a high failure rate (not
ever engines that's a given)

PBR does not accept advertising from any manufacturers, so I don't
think this falls under the guise of "spruiking". They are generally
quite picky in their evaluations of marine products.

Sorry it's just BS & nothing more.

However as I made it clear each person has to make their own decision,
we've been warning about & explaining why this particular DFI won't,
indeed we say can't, work since before they were even properly in the
market & to date have seen nothing but BS from OMC, Bomb now da "family"
(how appropriate!!).



FWIW,
