E-Tecs

[Keyscruz]

I too have an etec 150 like Bushwacker. Mine is on an 18 with a bracket. I second every thing Bushwacker says. I followed his early advice when shopping for an engine. I have had many engines over the years but have never had one that starts instantly every time. The mid rpm torgue is nearly enough to throw you out of the boat. To quote my teenage son, "It's awsome".

I have a pair of 150's on my 23 cc 2007's
have had no issues, 170hrs now. oil works out at around 80-1 with xd100
start easy even cold,
also have a 65 etec 2007 on my duckboat and that starts on first rotation of crank
even at 12 degrees outside temp

three year service costs around 700 per engine. at the dealer
nice part is the computer read out. shows everything about the engine
on paper. nice to see exactly what is going on
