[QUOTE="AllOutdoors, post: 404746, member: 7081"] I bought the motor in 2006 I believe. 90/65 jet. All I ever did was change the oil and filters and run the fire out of it. I sold it to a friend that has a house on 2 different rivers and he probably puts twice as many hours on it as I did. He still has the boat and motor and it has never been in the shop. All he does is change oil and filters. Now back to the etec.... I would not be afraid of it either, and like I said the extra cost for it is probably the extra warranty. You could see what the cost difference would be by purchasing an extended warranty on the 4 stroke, If your concerned about a warranty. Also weight......of the engines compared. I know the 4 strokes are getting lighter but do not know the difference in the etec and the 4 stroke. Just another thought, if weight is an issue, to help muddy the waters more in your decision.[emoji12] [/QUOTE]
