Hi everyone,just a note i was checking out the new evirudes [etech] series. the salesmen is saying that the new engines are better than the yammies in speed and fuel mileage.He claimed since Bomadiar bought out evinrude they worked out the bugs.anyone own the new engine.
thanks the runt
yep! and i love it ! great power and very very good on fuel!
my friend has the same size boat and horse power motor but it`s a yami . i get better fuel and speed .
I looked long and hard at buying an E-TEC when I bought the new boat,very few people that I could find had them,starting to see some around now,I always ask the people that own them.All positive comments so far.If they get better fuel mileage than the yamaha,with better power then they are on to something.my yamaha is REALLY GOOD on fuel.Lazy up out of the hole though.One of my fishing buddies is going to go with the E-TEC,DAN
This is one thing they are definitely not... These engines are light and 2 stroke,, they were built for just that reason...quote:.Lazy up out of the hole though
I have the second season on my 175 E-TEC now and I continue to be impressed with this engine... They are by far the best power to wait and for horse power of any manufacturer I have come up against... I run a 20' Lund decked out with all the goodies including a 9.9 for trolling and I move along at a top speed of 50mph.. I can cruise comfortably at 30mph at 2800 rpm and fuel consumption is very good.. We fished out of Sunny Shores this past summer for 9 days running out to all the usual including Sheringham 3 times,, and all on $175.00 fuel and when I was done I still had a good 1/4 tank of fuel left... These engines really do stand alone in there tecnologie.. I believe it is only a matter of time till they really start to show up on a lot of water craft...
New 2 stroke direct injection engines have low emissions and great power and torque (not to mention don't have to worry about oil changes and are also fuel efficient). I am happy to see E-Tec engines do so well and hope Yamaha will see that their HPDI direct injection 2 strokes are worth keeping around.
Thanks everyone for the input.
The guy in the picture without the hat, do you think he is suffering a hangover?
See you on the water[8D]

I'm looking at bringing a Striper 2101 up from California over the winter. All the boats I see (1997-2001) have Johnson or Evinrude 150 or 175 hp engines. A friend of mine told me they are **** and I shouldn't look at any boat with one of these engines (problem with the heads?).
Any truth to his comments?
Thanks,
Dan

and he had nothing nice to say about it. in fact the air was usually quite "blue" whenever the topic came up.
Those were troubled years for OMC , however it does appear that E-TEC
models have risen above the problem's they had.
