he claims to want to know but then .............. doesn't.


the pages you showed didnt convince me there are problems with ETec ..
the one claiming that several blew up at a tournament didnt have much
credibility to me ..

The other smaller issues I beleive but its nothing related to the 2DFI
technology ...

So far the Etec does seem to be holding up ... that doesnt mean the
fuel use claims are holding up to the expectations ... they really dont
seem to and there are some facts to substantiate that. Facts for
kabooms are still missing

When you have a high horsepower outboard or a pair of them pushing a
sportfishing boat, you're not overly concerned about which brand of
similar-power outboard might get a hair more MPG at a given speed. There
are just too many variables. If I burn $50 worth of gas on a given
outing, it isn't going to make any difference to me whether another
brand of outboard *might* do the same job on $43 worth of fuel. In fact,
about all that matters to me is that when I turn the key, the engine
starts instantly and runs properly until I return and my boating day is
over.


That $7 will buy a dozen bloodworms!
