Whos running Etec out there and how do you like them ? Looking at G2 for my boat.
Mine is a 2010 etec and other than maintenance has been flawless bought used with 1400 hrs mnr return off lease has 2700 hrs now. As I said regular maintenance touch wood so far have heard of some with 5000 hrs still going. It's a 175 hp have seen some around $14000.00 in December as end of year clearance. Hopefully my hangs in there for a bit longer. It happens to everyone but is not fun to re moter. I know you have 2 thank God I only have one. Check out totem garage they have some 135s 2016 I believe decent prices factory warranty. Not sure what you need for power but know a guy who re powered down to 150 g2 from a 175 same top end better hole shot and better fuel economy. Just my own opinion.Whos running Etec out there and how do you like them ? Looking at G2 for my boat.
Guy down the road 150Etec is a 2008 and its NFG now. He just dropped another 20G's and bought another one .Can't fix stupid. You will need to put a timing belt on every 1000 hours bro so the $200 won't break the bank.My 150 Yamaha 4 stroke is a 2006 with 1000's of hours on it. My 2002 Yamaha kicker has so many hours on it i can't even count.I put a belt on it after 14 years of trolling LOL.I found some decent pricing, I looking for feedback on general over all performance vs 4 stroke. This is my second big boat and first one with outboards. Upgrading is not cheap but want to make sure money is well spent. 4 strokes are nice but I am starting to see an increase in run hours which means increase maintenance costs ie more frequent oil changes. Also I am not a fan of parts pricing for Yamaha, 200 bucks for a timing belt alone. 400 bucks for idler. So I am leaning towards 2 stroke, Etec G2. Like I said earlier I would like to hear about performance vs 4 stroke.
