pete s. Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 thinking of purchasing a newer rig. during my search,i am seeing alot of rebuilt power heads. especially EFI s. anyone on the forum blown the power heads on their 150-200hp newer outboards? list the brands,yr,type of fuel delivery,HP etc. thought it would be interesting to do our own consumer report. now,lets see if this post will pass the political correctness test. thanks pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassnfool Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 2001 Evunrude 225 HP E-tec. A piston ring broke with 235 hours on the unit in 2004. Evinrude wouldn't cover anything. Repair cost $1,800.00. Next boat I bought (2004 Triton) is powered by a 225 Merc Optimax. The Mercury beat the Evinrude hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
