It has been awhile back,but I am just curious as to what the weight was for Evinrude's new 15 HP E-TEC H.O. (Admittedly,I have been a bit skeptical of the E-TEC motors as a whole,...though I am NOT slamming them in any way,...I had been questioning whether or not you can really run them full throttle right out of the box without a break-in,run'em five hours without oil,and run 'em three years without maintenance. I just recently purchased a
2010 Lund A-14 utility-v bottom boat,but went with Mercury four stroke 15 HP motor. Someone said the 15 HP E-TEC would have have been too heavy for the A-14 Lund,but I want to be sure I heard right. I say all this because
I was hoping to maybe put my skepticism to rest and find out for myself.
But until then,my skepticism towards E-TECs remain,...and will keep the Mercury 15 horse four stroke. It does,...afterall,...have a Yamaha powerhead.)
