[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 331954, member: 3278"] Its all about making sure the installation, systems integration, and adjustments are done properly for one. You say its not rocket science but you would not believe how many times I have found basic shift and throttle adjustments way off....apparently done by some rocket scientist. On a new engine this can lead to gearcase damage first and foremost. Then who pays the bill??? Definitely not a manufacturers defect in materials or workmanship. Warning systems are in the mix as well. You hook em up and they don't function and something goes wrong.....who pays?? Incorrect propeller selection creating a damage scenario. Tachometer on the wrong setting creating an improper propeller selection...... Improper mounting or a weak transom....another disaster waiting to happen. Who pays? You want to use your old control box and cables and then complain to the dealer about stiff throttle or shifting operation......not happy when he tells you its not the engine. Engine installed directly behind a large transducer which creates an overheat situation for the engine....who pays?? Just much easier to pay the dealer a couple hours of labor and let him deal with the proper set up. No questions then. Get the idea? [/QUOTE]
