[QUOTE="Hanr3, post: 222320, member: 1055"] The biggest thing is confidence, confidence in the motor. If you are afraid it will die, you wont go fishing as much, and when you do go, you wont go further than your alternative power source can get you back. As far as Im concerned, any motor is realatively easy to fix. Doesnt matter the year, make or model. Crab or FI doesnt really matter, both have pistons, require fuel, spark, and air. To fix the problem you simple need to determine which one of those three is out of whack. As for durability, 100% determined by preventive maintenance barring any factory defects. 99.9% of the time, a "bad" motor is the result of poor preventive maintenance. Basically Owner Operator error. Has nothing to do with the manufacture. [/QUOTE]
