Ordered e-tec 50

[Guest]

Well, I finally did it. My new e-tec is being installed as I write. I know there's not a lot of experience out there with these motors--but there sure is a lot of talk!<br /><br />So.. I guess I'll be a guinna pig. I'm getting a 50hp tiller on my 18' Alaskan and will let everyone know how it works out. I suppose I'll be spending this weekend with it. Even though they say there's no break-in, there really is. It's just that I don't have to do anything special--the motor does it itself (so I hear, anyway). <br /><br />I'm keeping my expectations low at this point. That way I'll be pleasently surprised if even half the hype turns out to be true. <br /><br />Wish me luck!<br /><br />Thanks

Marketing folks really have a way of spoiling all your fun at the end of the day, don't they. Hopefully you are going to be very happy with your new motor... <br />oh yea, good luck

Bill<br /><br />I'm sorry to hear that. I looked at the e-tec too. But I ended up buying the Yammi 4 stroke. I do have to break it in, but after that the salesman said it won't burn any gas at all. <br /><br />Good luck with the e-tec. I think you'll like it.

Fished with a guy who had one, well, next to him but not in his boat, for a week in Canada.<br /><br />He loves it.<br />Only problem he has had, was the kill switch was out of adjustment, and the motor would die when he pounded a big wave.
