new 200 E tec vs 1998 225 Suzuki

[3rdday]

Ya can't kill the E-tecs, I tournament fished and we had the water line come off the nipple on the block, drank saltwater for 2 & 1/2 hrs at close to 50 mph everything uder the cowling got drowned-starter fried only problem. Tournament support pulled the plugs and there was over 1/4 inch salt on each- None of the electronics were affected, they replaced the starter, ran it thru the winterization cycle dumping extra oil, next day finished the tournament no problems, I told my buddy after that,hed better to try to kill it while it was under warranty, that was over 3 years ago, no problems since, it gets run hard in the tournaments-Bullet Proof. I am a believer for sure!
