New ETEC on the boat

Took it for a cruise today and it ran great. I psyched. The boat will be ready to fish by days end tomorrow.

Good news Matt, tight lines!

Welcome to the E-club Matt.

I'll be in the water next week.
You're gonna love the auto-winterize feature.

The new ETEC ran flawlessly Monday and we averaged 3.78 MPG for the whole day. The boat has canyon capabilities if I was on heroin and had a death wish. 11.9 hours on the engine Monday. So far after 2 runs I love the engine.

It will run even better after a hundred hours or so.

My fuel economy on my 200 etec went up 50% from my old evinrude 175. Now getting about 3.5

Are you using the XD100? IMO its better for the engine. keeps the powerhead squeaky clean never needing decarbing.

Good luck

Go to DOMO ONLINE for the best oil prices on the web.
Been using them for years, even with my older ficht.

Some day we are going to get 5-6 guys who use xd100 to agree and buy a 55 gal drum. Just need to save the empty jugs.
Save some $$$.

Domo is up now, at least for XD50, but price at Dusky was actually cheaper. Thanks for the heads up, i hadn't bought anything from Dusky in several years.
