plugs were that full of carbon they wouldnt spark properly they said the cause of this was i had 70 % of use at 500rpm, in fine print in the manual it says you can't have more than 40%

I've been going through the book and warranty and I can't find that reference anywhere ... where abouts is it??

Etec owners dont troll, there to busy showing everyone HOW much better there boat is out of the hole

Is hole shot the most over rated term in boating!!!( ski racers excluded) Just dont see how a few seconds faster onto the plane is EVER going to help you? Now being able to troll for 12 hours without fouling plugs would be an asset wouldn't it!!

Hehehe! Just trying to get the attention of my old mates Disorderly and Sea Raider. I struggling with the concept that were on the second page of a e-tec thread and not a post from the e-tec boys yet Must be a network crash in NQ

I see ,an old nemesis thing.I recall some of the pointless bs you guys were involved in .They maybe start to enjoy what they have, instead of try to prove a point which is unprovable.
cheers

Thanks for the laugh,Ian.
Things were getting a bit hectic and stressful here today.So I appreciate you lightening the mood.It's to easy to take ourselves too seriously and i always appreciate a bit of a laugh.

As for you Lee,well you know where you can shove that flammable Suzuki.

Geez Scott, didn't think things got hectic up your way. Looks like the weather gods are going to give us a chance to burn some fuel this weekend mate (in your case some oil aswell ).
With this cold weather we have been having the macks should be thick out there.

Hi Lee,

Half your luck if you can get out this weekend!
Hope you clean up on the mac's.
This thread seems to have gone the same way as the poor buggers? original problem.
Would any manufacturer void your warranty if you spent too much time at low revs?
I think this thread is another setup to bash E-tecs,so go for it all you envious types.It's amazing what people conjure up to trash a product.

Hi Cod Muncher,

The issue you have is a known issue with ETec's that can be fixed under warranty, as published on the webpage like below.

Quote from page:
"Spark plugs were wearing out around 100 hours, especially on boats that did a lot of trolling: This turned out to be a problem with the EMM software, and according to one of our local E-TEC dealers, in the larger motors, a fuel jet deflector of some sort had to be replaced with an improved design. The software was fixed, and all engines with premature spark plug wear were fixed under warranty. If you are an E-TEC owner and experience this problem, you should return to the dealer and have the problem corrected".
