Finally pulled it off and put on a 90 johnzuki....was hard to find it in '07 (they were done in 2005 thanks to BRP) but man do we love it...3rd year on it now. My dad also owns a 90 etec...his is a 2005. It also has had a few issues....ECM replaced, 2 recalls, trim pump and a few spark plugs for fouling. He loves it though as he was use to an old carb v4. To each there own but I wouldn't buy another etec.....ever.

Big Rod. I enjoy your posts but beg to differ. Sounds like you have a hatred/ignoranc for BRP. I owned owned a 90hp,1996 Johnson in the past. It smoked but never let me down. I been runing a 115hp etec since 2006. No smoke, great gas mileage, trolls good for hours. Recomend them now.
