Never build a boat, story of the Ho-Hum

[Boarderguy]

It smells like engine. The old ones smelled way better. I will miss the smell of two strokes in the morning.

The smell and sound will be a thing to reminisce while cruising in relative quiet.

This is welcome news to me.

As someone who goes out on the Ho Hum on occasion and hates both the sound and smell of engines, anything that is quieter and with less smell is welcome to me.

At least they’re not diesels.

I like diesels.

What did you have before evinrude e-tech ?

Yep. Almost 20 hp of two stroke goodness.
Now I need a new picture.
And new 9.9 stickers.

How are you spending your saturday?
Yours will definitely be better than mine.
Just what every captain wants to be doing in the middle of their season.

From the tone of this post, it sounds like this was an unplanned engine upgrade? What happened? Those motors are beautiful.

Yacht Club has a 225 gen1 Etec that kept over heating, well alarming at least, we replaced the impeller, thermostats, poppet valve, infra red thermometers showed cylinders were not getting hot, but it was alarming, temp sensors
were swapped with known working ones, water to the computer was ok. It was eventually traced to the outlet pipe from the computer which was blocked so the computer was overheating as the water was not flowing out. Go figure
