[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 468334, member: 22613"] The mechanical aspect of Etecs is nothing new, they are a culmination of the better designs that OMC has been building for decades. The electronics are complex, but an EFI 4 stroke is just as bad. A lot of these new 4 stroke powerheads are astronomically expensive to repair, often exceeding the value of the motor. Mercury is terrible about dropping parts support, especially on smaller motors. Even a lot of recent motors have parts that are NLA, stuff that is not even 10 years old. [/QUOTE]
