there is an adjective that's spelled very close to Ficht that aptly describes them.
To be honest. there are so few of those things around, I really don.t have much of an opinion about them. Those early years were known to have issues, and were during the bankruptcy/buy out of OMC by Bombardier. Ram FIcht was Bomb's first attempt to rectify the issues with Ficht engines( ETEC v2.0) I have no idea how many updates were issued during the early years. A lot of parts for those motors are no longer available or the price for upgrading would far outstrip the value of the engine. I have heard those engines were to most fuel efficient outboards every made. But basing it on other OMC/Bomb products during those years, there were still plagued with issues not reflated to the power head(weak lower units, poor aluminum castings, etc...), i wouldn't want one
