Any "understanding" you have about anything relates only to what side of the manic/depressive cycle you are on at any given time. Go take your meds. I took my daily vitamin. It's the only "med" I take. I'll be glad to consider your claims of "superior" fuel mileage and meaningful performance differences on eTecs when you provide reasonable proof of same. When I checked out the Evinrude site's "performance bulletins" for a boat and engine combo that was very similar to mine and read through the data presented, I saw that the published results weren't significantly different than the results I get with my rig. In other words, if I replaced my F150 Yamaha with an eTec 150, the performance would be just about the same. I suspect they would be about the same with a new-tech 150 Merc and with a four stroke 150 Suzuki, if Suzuki made one in that size. You claim to be a scientist of sorts, Tom. In science, when you are discussing fact and not presenting theory, you present results that have a high degree of certainty. The only information I have seen about eTecs that probably is true is that a two-cycle eTec *might* out-accelerate a four-cycle outboard by a bit from a dead start because of the nature of two cycle versus four cycle engines. Maybe. I await with interest your data that disproves the laws of thermodynamics. |

Obviously, the "problem" with this thread is that I refuse to take at face value totally unsubstantiated claims about the "superiority" of eTec technology in producing outboards that ignore the laws of physics. It's the silliness...like me claiming that today's four stroke Suzukis are "not as good as" today's four stroke Yamahas, when I know that both Suzuki and Yamaha make first-rate engines. Commenting on the relative weakness of the Suzuki dealer network, though, is fair, because I know first-hand that it is not up to the standard of Yamaha or Mercury, at least not in my area. Suzuki dealers are far and few between, and the ones I've seen are not the larger shops with big parts departments and service bays. |

Speaking of proof, I just checked the Evinrude site and could not find a link that took me to the dozens of motor and boat test reports you can find on the Mercury and Yamaha sites. The Evinrude site has lots of pop-ups and hyperbole, but not the kind of hard information that helps a potential buyer evaluate performance and fuel economy. Can you provide the link there I couldn't find...appreciate it... HK, It looks like someone changed the Evinrude site recently and made it harder to find the test reports. Go to the Evinrude site, click on Showroom, then choose an engine family and click on a specific motor. You will then see 3 tabs: SPECIFICATIONS, COMPETITIVE COMPARISONS, and PERFORMANCE REPORTS. Click on COMPETITIVE COMPARISONS first, then click on PERFORMANC REPORTS to see what you can download. If you click just on REPORTS, sometimes it didn't work. I don't know whose bright idea that was, but things could have been done a lot simpler. Bill Grannis service manager Thanks, Bill. I finally found them. Just between us boys, the Evinrude site is...lousy. There's just too much going on there, in terms of rollovers, popups, and suchlike, and it is too difficult to find the information a prospective buyer might want. Well, at least the information a prospective buyer who knows how to read might like... :) |

It seems he respects your opinion, and you might be able to have an impact on his behavior. That is a fair question and I can think of at least 2-3 posters that might fit that description. In the many years that I have posted here, I have learned that some people just aren't willing to change. In fact, they will spend countless posts talking about how they are going to change and quit trolling because of how useless other posters are.... that it just isn't worth their time. Obviously, those are disingenuous posts and they've never stopped. They never WILL stop, because they enjoy being puppeteers. Some people never realize they are being puppets. I often write long and logical discourses to the trolls on why they should look at their own posting behavior and just stop trolling. I almost always throw the posts away, because I know.... even though I'm trying to help.... I'm only going to feed the trolls. Been there, done that, and never had ANY real success. I quit feeding. I've found that I can make the choice to be a puppet or not. Once in a while, I'll let one through, if I think the person has a real interest in stopping the flame wars. There are no fireworks to watch.... no real eye candy, but trust me, ignoring a troll-post causes quiet anguish and sorrow..... fanning the flame wars just makes for more troll-happiness. Posters, it is up to you. Quiet troll-ending non-response and the end of flame wars, or a continuation of tit-for-tat and a 100% iron clad guarantee that the flame wars will continue and flourish. Man-up and make your choice or continue girlie dancing to the puppeteer's whim.... Amen, amen, amen. (To the tune of "Amen") -- John *H* |
