Evinrude E-Tec

Anybody have the lowdown on the new evinrude E-tec motors. Are there any known problems at this time. Do they take high test fuel.

Re: Evinrude E-Tec

they also can run on different oils. but the hi cost of the XD100 is offset by the miserly use of it. Really neat engines. All that I have run ( roughly 20 of them) have been flawless.<br />I have only run one higher than 90 hp

Re: Evinrude E-Tec

The E-TECs have been in production since the summer of 2003 and have been very reliable. They are made to run on ordinary 87 octane fuel. You can now buy E-TECs from 40hp up to 250hp. They are as quiet and as smooth as a 4-stroke, yet use the same or less fuel while outperforming those motors.
