Keep us posted how yours holds up. My buddy and his dad have them and so far they've changed 3 injectors, some kind of coil and now the Number 5 cylinder is gone in one. To make matters worse, Evinrude can't find his original paperwork and get this, said because of the high hours on it for being two years old, he must be using it for charters and therfore its no longer under warranty
 This is gonna get interesting...........Even better: He went to his mechanic who is an evinrude dealer to diagnose a problem he had before the cylinder went, guy told him to run it hard and let it breakdown so he could send it off to Evinrude for a new one........ Did I mention this is gonna get interesting?????????

In regard to the dealer situation there is another apparently common problem, the dealers are setting them Up to fall into the operating range on boats. BRP came out with a service bulletin to all dealers, every year, they must be set up to run what is called the optimum range, which is generally around 5600-5900 rpm with a normal load.
A lot of dealers do not want to play around prop wise or simply do not care.

dealers are everything with an Etec, thats why I don't recommend Etecs around here, you've only got two choices, neither one is that good. I can probably point you to 12 or 15 qualified yamaha techs around here,8 0r 10 Suzuki guys, 10 or 12 good mercury techs, only 2 or 3 verado guys. 4 or 5 Honda, and I'm only 1 of three or four guys stupid enough to work on I'O's in this area
