Over complication is killing a lot of industry faith and causes more headaches then it’s actually worth! Lol just like cable throttle control to drive by wire in vehicles and even outboards now… KISS method should always be used!
It’s been working in planes for years, with the one big exception. They should be great, but what does the price point look like?
Ask them how much the parts that run that system cost if they fail. Better to know going in than be shocked later.
That outboard has serve you well profisher. What is the secret for not having the block corrode through?
The steering sounds cool. nice to see how it works out after a few years.
All the internal passages are coated from the factory with a teflon type coating which prevents salt from sticking. There are some parts without the protection like the t-stats...so you have to check them each spring for any build up and remove it. Otherwise the motor only gets flushed after each use when its on the trailer. When docked during the summer it never gets flushed...just used often. The only corrosion issue has been with electrical...I have replaced the engine wiring harness as it was starting to cause some intermittent failures of devices like activating the remote oil tank pump. Also replaced all the spark plug boots for the same reason..intermittent misses from internal corrosion. But nothing lasts forever...24 years is very good though and still going.
We’re slowly losing out on control of our controls. Many cars no longer have park brake cables or transmission shift cables. Ridiculous you can’t throw a car in park without a battery.
