[lumberslinger178]

well fellas to maks a long story short my 2007 e-tec needs a new powerhead , sould have it back by next week end. thank god for that 7yr warranty :-/

ok sawdust, i'm gonna do you a favor.
deliver to me you boat with the new motor and i will reluctantly give mine to you.
it runs like its brand new and comes with a hardtop. (which i will remove before you get here).
you will have no more problems with the motor and she runs out at about 50 something mph.

Lumber, I'm sorry to hear of your problems, warranty or not, that a pain the @@#. What let go? :'(

[lumberslinger178]

seem that there was supposed to have a software update for the oil injector and I was never notified from evinrude or my dealer and the dealer seems to think Iam running the wrong prop.

I have to tell ya the dealer thats fixing the motor is NOT where I bought it !!!
couple weeks ago it started knocking so I pulled it out of the water brought it to the guy I purchased the motor he had it for a day and a half he changed some filters and plugs and said it was running fine so the next day I put it back in the water and its still makin same knocking noise so I contacted another local dealer and this is what they found.

btw ctt yesterday you could have bought my v cheap but today price is back up to 25,000 I hope no one ever offers me that....lol

wow lumber, that sucks.....I think that's the first new E-tec I've heard of going bad.....sorry it happened to you. Sounds like you'll be back in the water soon enough with no out of pocket expense....thats big ;)

next weekend hammer ;D ;D ;D ;D

[Airslot]

Lumber, you'll be wet again next weekend, with the right prop, the right software, and the Etec running RIGHT. Makes a little more sense now, because I was wondering why your numbers were so close to MAC's with an extra 50 ponies.

Bet your gonna luv her even more ;D

[reelapeelin]

The same thing coulda happened w/any new motor, Merc, Yam, Zuke, Honda...I surely don't jump to any conclusions because of this...BRP's doin' just what I'd have thought they would and makin' it as painless as possible...are you gonna notify them of 1st dealers FU?...

[lumberslinger178]

yes Iam gonna take it all the way I just want some paper work in hand first :(

i been wanting an e-tec since they first came out. but have been waiting for them to prove themselves. (+ no $) now i got the cash for the down payment and i dont think i gonna get one, as bad as i want too. i know where 2 are for sale at a very resonable price with 'brand new powerheads'. i have seen several come and go on ebay with 'brand new powerheads'. and a freind of a freind, i was told, got 2 'brand new powerheads' one right after the other on his kenner with twin 150's.
being an omc man all the way its not ez to say this but, i think i will be hanging a yammie on my new transom after i get moved. that or sticking with the old johnny 175 for a while longer. i just afraid that this 'brand new powerhead' is starting to look like a recurring theme.
any body else with an e-tec needed the software update?

[lumberslinger178]

twisted , Iam not sure iam waiting to hear from billy mac

[Mac_Attack]

OK I'm here. Since last fall I've spent about 5 months checking out the 2 strokers available. They all have problems. Evinrude in my opinion is the best two stroker on the market. If you go to http://bbcboards.zeroforum.com/zeroforum?id=51 you can read about the different problems out there. Evinrude (BRP) stands behind their product. If you do blow your head they replace it all. LS what prop were you running. Our motor's heads are the same. I'm sure you'll be well taken care of by BRP. From all my reding they are the tops in customer satisfaction. Billy Mac ;D

[lumberslinger178]

Hi billy, brp is standing behind me 100 % the are also willing to obsorb the cost os a new prop , i was told there was a software update that was not done to my engine and the # 6 cylinder was lacking oil and that the prop was not turning high enough rpm's an i have a 14 3/4 x 18 , and my first dealer said it was good , after a couple trips i still wasnt happy with the prop.let me know what you think
ken

[boatnluvr]

Lumber, I concur on the BRP warranty. I just had a head replaced on a 2004 Ficht. No questions asked. Done in a week. However, unlike you lucky Etec owners, I now have to go through a painful 10 hour break-in period.

[Blue_Runner]

WTF?!?! >:(

Slinger man that really BLOWS! I hope you get all straightened out and back on the water very soon. I never would'a thunk it - dam software!

Why the hell do you need software to run a dam outboard anyway?!? ::) >:(

What ever happened to fuel, air and spark? Isn't that all you need for heaven's sake?
