Alan,

There no problems with FICHTs beyond the normal issues seen in any engine
line. Am not sure but don't believe the FICHT is available in 75 HP.
You'll want to look at the ETEC line. Very good high quality engines.

Hi Larry, I don't own one yet but was thinking of getting one of the 75 Hp
outboards. I am was deciding between the Merc or Evenrude. What problems
are they having with the Ficht's I wasn't aware of any? The boat show is
this week were I am now so it is getting down to crunch time. Alan

Sorry if you have one....

Don't all engines have a built-in blowtorch pointed a the spark plugs?

There is a rumor that Bombardier is selling the Evinrude line of
outboard motors to anyone that will buy it. I am worried that their 7
year warranty won't mean squat if its gone again. Rumored too was
Ranger Boats wanted to buy the high end big motors but they won't
piece it off. Has anyone heard about it?Alan
