Outstanding with my 200 HO.

Efficient, power up the wazoo, quiet with no major burps.

Did have one minor EMM problem which involved the clock resetting -
usually after about an hour of run time. It was annoying, but not
major.

My old Contender's new owner is living the high life with twins under
charter use - told me he was glad he made the switch. One guy at my
old marina switched from Optimax to ETEC and tells me all the time he
wish he had done it sooner.

In my opinon, best engines made.
