Same story with Matt 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 Matt 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! -- 'Til next time, John H ****************************************** ***** Have a Spectacular Day! ***** ****************************************** |
