Why would you need both???

if it were a two stroke, you
probably wouldn't be able to sell them a few years from now.


Unless Etech has actually found a way to do what they claim to be
doing (lower emissions than current four strokes). Might work for two
stroke diesels as well.

And you're happy with it so far I take it?
I talked with a dealer the other day and he says they haven't replaced
a power head yet (but I wouldn't expect him to tell me even if he
has).
Etechs haven't caught on around here yet but given the pro-OMC crowd
of the past in my area, I don't know why it shouldn't. We shall see.
