Anyone know how many Johnson E-Techs are out there and how have they faired

I'm a week or so away from purchasing a 50 hp and hate the idea of being
the
first with new technology.
Any thoughts or comments appreciated.

Don't under any circumstances buy one!! They're experimental at
best & just another EX OMC consumer ripoff at worst.

They are a "modified" ficht, they have in no manner dealt with the
root cause of the ficht failures (lean mixtures on poorly atomised low
pressure injection) & there are good reasons to think they too will fail
at a way too high rate. You could be one of the lucky ones but ...


Don't ever expect those that sell them to tell you anything but
rosy stories about them, gee Bill a Florida dealer was telling this NG
he'd never even seen a failed Ficht at the height of the Ficht debacle!!!

As for the claimed warranties there's the proof positive that
they're suspect.

just another view:-)

Karen,

Your view stinks.While I normally just lurk, I can't stand your attitude to
reputable posters.
Why don't you offer a solution rather than the long boring posts spruiking your
biased opinion? And why don't you and your blokes build a better motor? By
reading your posts you certainly pretend to have the knowledge!
I saw the diesel outboard contraption you have been spruiking for years.If
that's a better motor than the ficht or e tech why don't your blokes bring it
to market?

I am not an OMC fan. In fact I worked for the competition for a long time. BUT
I hope they succeed. Their new products are doing well. I wonder how many you
personally have seen or worked on?

I am certain OMC would love to have you on board to solve all of their
problems. You can become a famous for turning around a wonderful company with a
great heritage.Now that would be something to be proud of.
Instead you spend your days in the newsgroup insulting nice people with your
spruiking instead of offering a solution. Do us all a favor and put you and
your blokes enormous knowledge to do some good instead of being so negative.

Thank you, Happy Holidays.
