Paul D Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 What engine is it then Paul ? Jim E-Tec 40HP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 That's the reason I asked. I too have an E Tec ( 75 ) I chose my boat with an E Tec, on the advice of Tony ( Fat Chance ) He has a Raider 18 with a 90 E Tec. I follow the reports of performance and service costs etc. very closely. Cheers for the info. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Jim, I've got an Etec 60 and have had no problems with approx 350 hours on the clock. Had my 3 year service 2 months ago PJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Thanks Paul D Thanks Paul J They are very popular, Gazza ( Whitey Bitey ) runs one as well. I was determined to buy a 4 stroke untill i heard of the service costs ( and the weight ) Thanks again Gents. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 jim, most people seem very happy with their E-tec`s but i am not too pleased with mine,quite a few problems plus the over all build quality is very weak and easily broken,(take a close look at the hood catches and the wrap around shell) very flimsey I would not buy another one but i think i would go for the Japanese makes, as with their cars they are very good Paul can you remember the cost of the service for the 60 E-tec as mine is due in the next 8 months Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
