Based on what I have read here and on the manufacturers sites I would prefer
an E-Tec to power the next boat I purchase.

Having said that..........what is the future of 2 strokes? Will the E-Tec
survive future new and stricter emmisions standards for marine engines? Are
they as environmentally friendly as the 4 strokes manufactured by the other
marine outboard engine big boys?
Uh, you might want to search on some large-scale "boating" discussion
boards.
Karen? Is that you?
Naw, but there seem to be any number of "isolated" problems with some of
the etecs, some of which involve powerhead replacements. Dunno why.

Oh - you mean the ones that Karen posted?

Those have been around for a while and it's always a friend of a
friend or indirect "evidence".


I'm not concerned about etecs. I gave up on evinrudes in the late 1960s,
when my father dropped the line!

My current problem is that, d'oh, when I sold off Yo Ho I, I also sold
off my C-MAP user chips and forgot to back them up. I had several
hundred fishing waypoints on them, and now...well, one guess.

The guy who bought Yo-ho dislikes you?

He lives in a different area. The user chips are erasable and
rewritable. You figure out the rest.

Harry,
You must have been punching in fishing waypoints at over 2 an hour to
have several hundred fishing way points in YoHo. If you were doing
this, you really never came back to any of the "old waypoints" anyway,
so whats the big deal. You really need to sit back and enjoy the boat
and spend some time fishing and using the boat, instead of worring about
punching in waypoints.

Several hundred waypoints on a boat used 150 hours? Is that what you
did on your boat. Plot every inch of your travel?
