What "failure rate" statistics can you cite to back up your claim that
the engines "suffered way too high failure rates for

of legitimate science, not your usual crap you extrapolate from reading
about three incidents that took place on a hot day in August on an
unnamed lake and involving three guys working their way through a keg
and bloodworms spread on crackers.


Are legitimate failure rate statistics publicly available for any
consumer item? The companies I've worked for held that data pretty
tightly.



Sure, at least partially. We've all encountered "recalls" with various
products, or at least read or heard about them.

But that's not my point. Ms. Smith is claiming a "way too high failure
rate," based upon nothing more than, basically, nothing. How can you
claim a rate is "too high" without any reliable quantifying?

The evidence I gave was we all were told this by a dealer friend of
yours in this NG!!! What better evidence could you possibly ask for???
again are you suggesting this particular dealer was nothing but lying
scum like you???

If that's what you're trying to say then just come out with it, don't be
shy.

Also it's clear that Brunswick are not putting any more money into it &
spending vast sums on the 4 strokes. That's the final nail as far as I'm
concerned.

If one of your dealer buddies isn't enough for you then I can't help you
further, you'll just have to stay in that unique but sad group of
simpletons who just "believe" things, gee there's one here who actually
posted he gets a certain fuel consumption because he "believes" he will!!!!

& the Krause lie for today is his Vietnam lie, the one he concocted when
in a fit of jealousy that John was a true patriot & served his country
like a real man, while socialist scum like Krause cowed behind their
lies back in the safety of their unions.


Just to make your day, not only was
I a civilian employee in SE Asia, it was in Vietnam, it was
during the
war against Vietnam, I did see some horrific sights and I was
working at
the time for a U.S. general. Is that straightforward enough for you,
John, or is your amoeba still chasing your synapse

Karen, please stop calling Harry 'lying scum'. It adds nothing to your
otherwise very interesting posts.

Your posts show that you know a lot more about the workings of the engines
than most anyone else hear. That alone adds to the credibility of what
you're saying.
