Harry,
She is definitely beating a dead horse, but ETec has never had as much free
positive publicity as when she makes one of her anti-Etec posts.

The question I have is why is a small sailboat dealer familiar with Etec. I
would not think a small sailboat woiuld need a 40 hp kicker engine.

Evinrude ETEC 50 / 60hp: The third generation of OMC’s Ram Ficht 2
stroke technology, now built by Bombardier. Excellent fuel economy and
compact size, but heavy and expensive. There have been so many major
problems with the earlier versions of this technology, that we just aren’t
yet ready to ask our customers to risk seven or eight thousand dollars
on an intriguing but not yet proven technology. As of late 2005, almost
one third of all Evinrude buyers reported a signIficant problem with
their engine in the first 30 days alone!


So now we know where it's from... one freakin' opinion. Puleeease...

PS FYI:


Smith is beating a dead horse: the one upon which she rode in.
