@@CaptYellow331 3700 hours saltwater use on mine never had to do Anything except the schedule 300 hour maintenance have you ever owned an Etec? Or just mad they run circles around your yammie?
That's a lot of horses behind that boat. We have a keywest 225 bluewater with a 225 e tech and Wide open throttle is right on 50 mph. Love the e techs!
It's pretty sad when a feller shows his amazing boat and engine for people like me who is about to buy a new boat with a 250 HO Evinrude, and all you see is idiots running their mouths and spewing about stuff they don't know anything about. Let's see YOUR boats people. His engine sounds fine, especially considering the facts he listed 20 times above and people still ask the same stupid questions thats been answered 20 times. Nice boat pal....VERY nice rig. ANY one should feel lucky to own this.
Got a 2010 etec 200ho ran on tcw3 oil but been running pennzoil premium plus all summer long ran thousands of hours no hiccup ive notice from every manufacturer those who rarely use there motor are the ones having issues. Yukon is a tough rugged place to put a motor to its paces you got silt, tough currents, vasy range of weather changes. But when i fire up my etec i rest assure it will bring me home everytime. Theres a huge crowd of fourstroke here like 90% so that makes me part of the 10%. Running on a 20ft Alumaweld seadory rigged for commercial fishing and subsistence use.
Those etecs are great motors but man they sure don't sound like the older 2 strokes like the Johnson gt and fast strike and rude xp and intruder. What would be really cool is if they brought the 2 stroke v8 back.
Matt Brattensborg I don't know all my history with outboards. But thanks for reminding me. I do remember seeing some videos of those V8 outboards in action. They were huge!
Matt Brattensborg All without the weight of Yamaha'a 5.3 L V8 outboard. It's has it's role in the boating world, but damn is it heavy. I'd also like to say that with 4 stroke outboards on the rise you would think there would be more aftermarket support for them. The SHO's from Yamaha are the only ones I know of currently to see this. But since those older two strokes are still out there it may be awhile.
Evinrude ETEC AKA BEAST, mine is the same way, but i only use non ethanol and i use stabilizer. no matter how long it sits, turn the key and bam. sounds like it starts up mad and ready to fight! nice ranger bro!
@kddcc Fuel begins to break down in as little as 2 weeks with ethanol blended fuels. once phase seperation occurs breakdown is right around the corner from the moisture that will begin to accumulate from the seperated ethanol. Injected engines don't seem to have teh problems taht carbed engines experience from it though.
@superhawkn gas is fine, these ear muffs are being used properly. I know because we have a water pressure gauge on the console and it reads normal PSI.
@fishingGator01 only have to get a new one every year. the lower unit was starting to peel alittle when we bought the boat used so we had a local marine shop paint it. he did a terrible job cause its worse. we hardly run a ground in this boat.
@marshjb we had someone repaint the lower unit to stop it from peeling...but it only made it peel worse. so we just dont care anymore. lol but we havnt been running in the sand.
I LOVE eTec .. but it makes me want to go out and start my Merc "90 hp" up with no stablilizer after a year and a half sitting ... wonder if it would start right up ... prolly not it's got carbs? .. lol ... but i take fuel line off and run the motor out ... so .. it might :D
Dalton don't for get to tape off front intake water hole on leaning edge of your m2 lower unit I forgot to and melted impeller on my 300 etec was only pushing 11psi at 5500 normally pushes 20psi what does your push at high rpm so going to put in new water pump kit an go get some mahi this week I have a 08 300 down here you don't have to fog for winter also do you run xd 100 evinrude oil so a learner burn if U get a injector problem you wipe out cylinder run evinrude tcw3 oil on computer setting so it runs a little richer on oil just saying JT sounds good as always happy tecing
@cateater4u2 the truth is that the soonest fuel and start to varish is anywere from 6-8 months. its very clear i said this engine has been sitting for 3-4 months so the fuel is still good. Dont talk to me like im a flippin moron sir. i removed your comments because you were being a troll and the use of inapropriate language.
Why no fuel stabilizer? My 2000 yamaha carburated outboard starts better than that. (im not trying to be a douche, just saying stabilizer is a very wise investment to protect your sexy engine)
hey mate im looking to get a 115hp etec do you recommend them or not i would like to show you the history of it but not sure how to upload the photo. help would be highly appreciated
I would highly recommend this engine. we have had this 250 since 2005 and have close to 1,000 hours on it and have only had to change spark plugs and water pumps. torquey engine and super reliable, starts up first time after 5+ months of storage. my only complaint is the E-tecs are thirsty
Scott M still do! Running strong! Overall it’s been fairly maintenance free, had some corrosion issues in the frame that had to be replaced but other than that it’s been regular maintenance! We estimate it’s got roughly 1,500 hours at least
NEVER, EVER remove the outflow fitting when running with the flush boot on. It creates pressure in the cooling system the engine needs. Maybe stick to farming?
maybe you didn't see the part where i removed some dirt from blocking the tell-tail. It being off for 10 seconds isn't going to hurt anything don't get so bent out of shape bro
As long as there's a water supply and the impeller is pumping water, it's not going to hurt anything. That motor isn't being ran to the point of it getting extremely hot.
It's nothing like the old days....holding the choke and grinding the starter. It's turn the key BAM.....go time!
best engines on the market
No doubt about it. The best of the best. Nothing is compare to Evinrude's power and reliability.
Not after 500 hours

there is something wrong with the carbs and it’s runs very ruff I own a 23 foot 250 Yamaha and it’s so quiet
@@peternguyen9602 1. The exhaust is out of water. Its louder that way. 2. The engine is a 2 stroke and they are generally louder

Never heard of them. Who made 2 stroke V8 outboards?
+Bone Drone Omc. They were Johnson and Evinrude motors
Matt Brattensborg I don't know all my history with outboards. But thanks for reminding me. I do remember seeing some videos of those V8 outboards in action. They were huge!
+Bone Drone Definitely bad ass engines! With a little tuning 400+hp and loads of torque!

you didn't wait for the lights to count down and the bee before starting ;-)
@2bns08 on this e-tec there is no direct water hose hookup thats why i used the ear muffs. but both ways work just the same and do equally fine.
@marshjb we had someone repaint the lower unit to stop it from peeling...but it only made it peel worse. so we just dont care anymore. lol but we havnt been running in the sand.
That's a lot of boat not to use... You better start running Seafoam in it to keep that fuel injection system clean...!
id love to have that boat and a house at the coast
Sounds like a diesel motor !
NICE BOAT

none what so ever, this engine has over 600 hours on it and the only service we have done has been new spark plugs. She keeps on tickin
My Suzuki started up in the first crank after one year
How many water pumps have you gone thru? It looks like you're running in sand all the time.
Very nice boat.
I have a Yamaha 2 stroke 150 done like 582 hours 16 years old and it still runs like brand new
I got the hours wrong lol
That’s awesome man! You should put up a video of it, love old outboards. Thanks for watching!

I prefer this Gen Etec over the New G2.
whys is the engine knocking?
It's not dumbass
how hot is the water from your tell tail
Did'nt know you could hook up just the hose an water an run it that way?
Sounds like a semi truck
Why no fuel stabilizer? My 2000 yamaha carburated outboard starts better than that. (im not trying to be a douche, just saying stabilizer is a very wise investment to protect your sexy engine)
do you have any issues with e10 fuel watering down your gas
The blue by you gheenoe
did you winterize it?
What's up buddy do you know why it's making that knocking sound when you first start it
Howdy. It must be the camera picking up poor noise quality, but there is no engine knock when it first starts up
Try leaving it out for 4 years

okay thanks so much for that was really helpful
Fatal Tech the e tech is not thirsty .... It's less thirsty then a fucking Yamaha or merc.....
how many hours does it have on it?
Our last computer diagnostics read around 800 hours. Still fires right up every time
Do you still have it 10 years later?
Scott M still do! Running strong! Overall it’s been fairly maintenance free, had some corrosion issues in the frame that had to be replaced but other than that it’s been regular maintenance! We estimate it’s got roughly 1,500 hours at least
Farr Outdoors oh wow! Thanks for the reply.
😀
Is it a dieselengine?
Portal O Melhor do Bairro sounds like it! But it’s a V6 2-stroke Direct injected Gas engine with multipoint oiling
I need that engine a mercury which I have is garbage will not start up right always
What kind of Merc is it? I have a 225 Optimax Pro XS and after a few months of sitting she fires right off.
i'm actully getting 4 300 hp etecs so i will go out on the water everyday

sell it, sounds like shit and not even pumping water, get a merc
toboast boat will sink to the bottom with that pile of lead hooked on to the boat! we want moment,efficacy and small wight,ergo a e-tec is needed.
