When people are saying that Evinrudes are blowing up etc: are they the Etecs or the older Ficht. If they were the newer Etecs they would have been under warranty I would have assumed and would be fixed or replaced for free.

The older 1998- 2001 fichts had many problems, they were junk. I had a 2000 that came with the boat when I bought it. Just before buying it the previeous owner blew the engine just before I was buying the boat. He had it rebuilt under warranty. When I got the boat and put 25 hrs. on the engine it blew again. Bombardier were the new owners and they sent me a free powerhead, which they did not have to do since the warranty only went to the first owner. As soon as the boat mechanic finished installing the new powerhead I traded for the etec
