Here is the proof positive the dealer who posted this deceptive BS will

say &/or do most anything to make a sale

At 5400 (305rpm below their dealer claims) just what HP would a 250 E-Tec
be actually making??? a simple bit of math would indicate as low as
213-220HP!!! nothing even like 250HP (per engine 18.93 gph /0.0888gph per
HP = 213HP)





OK, Ms. Smith,

Once again you are showing off your ignorance of E-TEC motors and (with your
own quote) "Here is the proof positive". The Evinrude E-TEC is rated at
250hp at 5150 rpm so at 5400 rpm it is within its operating range and well
below the redline of 5800 rpm.

Since you are the one demanding "proof" on everything, yet NEVER give any
for your "claims", just click on Evinrude's website and read the
specifications page. I'll even hold your hand and give you the link:
http://www.evinrude.com/en-US/Engine...ations/250.V6/

The above link is for the US website, for Australia, you can click on the
BRP International website in English and once again, you will see that you
were wrong about the E-TEC specs:

I don't mind discussions and debates, but I prefer to converse with someone
who is at least familiar with a subject and who doesn't run off at the mouth
making erroneous and unsubstantiated claims.

So runaway you don't withdraw or modify your claim with BS fuel use
chart attached, that 2 X 250HP E-Tecs at max power only use 37.84 gph or
18.92 gph for each engine??? This is your natural justice opportunity to
withdraw or modify it as just being more of your false marketing BS. If
you're going to stick with it I suggest you find some independent
corroboration pronto because over this US summer you'll be needing it in
at least this NG:-)

Sorry Runaway it's you that doesn't "know" again you just quote the Co
marketing line & as usual give more of your marketing deceptions as
substantiation of your marketing deceptions. Links to just more of your
spruiking Co. claims don't mean a thing, your marketing claims about
fuel consumption are exactly what I'm challenging & in doing so I raise
the issue that if your fuel consumption claims are correct then you must
be well down on HP???. At least one "independent" test has found your Co
wanting when asked to pony up with the claimed HP distant 3rd behind
competition???.

That's the exact issue runaway your marketing is based on your "claims"
& every single time they're independently tested (so far) you are found
out as fudging. When independently tested a Merc made the claimed 250HP
(+), a Yamaha was slightly under it's claimed 250HP & your engine Co's
was way down on HP & to some users more importantly; torque.

A name change doesn't clear the slate, doesn't wipe out previous
failures, doesn't mean your previous failed independent fuel consumption
& HP tests just go away, it's you who is marketing; you need to firstly
address the "issues" if even possible:-)

Your fuel consumption claims when "independently" tested show they use
significantly "more" fuel than the figures you use in your advertising,
& it seems 10-15% more than the other 2 or 4 stroke competition.

Again as I showed in pasted sections you've again used a deceptive set
of figures, which suited your marketing purposes where you claimed 2 X
250HP E-Tecs at max power only use 18.92 gph each to make 250HP??? when
even your BS dealers annon site admits they use 22.21 gph to make
"maybe" 250HP (NB: I in no manner accept even that figure!! I say "we"
need to see an independent test not marketing BS from your mob)

Do you have one independent test that shows your 250HP placarded engine
can make 250HP??? & then do it on 18.92 gph of fuel??? Anything at
all???? Before you go ballistic I accept it's not illegal to overstate
OB HP figures (I'm not so sure it's "legal to give false fuel
consumption claims) but in such high powered engines it's certainly a
relevant matter.

So at this stage I better put you on notice I guess that so far I say
your fuel consumption claim for the E-Tec 250 is 3.29 gph below the as
yet not independently confirmed annon. dealer site claim??? or say the
current Co claim is over 17% higher????

Thanks for your help:-)
