New E-Tech question

[BAYDOG225]

Looking at upgrading to a new 40hp tiller E-Tech. Does anyone know how well they handle temps in the teens and single digits? I hunt ducks in the late season and on't want the oiler system not working due to thickening oil.

The oiling system will be fine. Ski-Doo uses the E-Tec in
their snowmobiles.

and the ETEC xd100 oil was reformulated years ago….for colder temps

but...….might not work today in Chicago or mid west :doh::smow: expect high prop damage

Where do you duck hunt...I am a rabid ducker myself...see my site www.duckhuntingalaska.com

Etec,s are used up in the high artic so I doubt your going to have issues.

So what is the difference between an E-tec oiling system and that of your pick-up truck ?

 

[thatone123]

Clean up in produce.

 

[racerone]

The E-tech concept ( direct fuel injection ) has been around for about 20 years.----Oil is injected where needed.-----Gasoline is injected into the cylinder after ports close.-----123 , did GM not have a 2 stroke diesel with 2 crankshafts years and years ago.----Two pistons in a common cylinder is NOT a new concept.

Scott - Don't give up. Use the ignore feature and you won't be bothered.

Guys - Please stay on topic and help the OP.

Outboards are not restricted to warm weather use. If you can stand the cold, so can an E-TEC.
