My E-Tec has been fantastic. Quiet, immediate starts idles at 500 therefore I troll with it. Blown heads yes there have been some, not mine. All brands have blown heads. Evinrude has a great warranty. If the head does blow they pull the entired head and it's replaced usually in about 7 days. Would I buy one again? Yes! Billy Mac

that i problem was linked mostly to 05 250hp due to a cooling issue. changed in 06 powerhead design.

Is most of the blown heads due to cooling?

only on that certain design of the 250's it was a cooling issue. was not an issue for the 225 or 200h.o.'s. and yes on the big engines. Last edited by cterrebonne; 02-25-2008 at 02:07 PM.

From what I have read, alot of the blown powerheads have been from poor set-up. The dealers don't want to take the time to set them up properly with the right prop for the hull.
