I just passed the 2,000 hour mark on my E250D E-Tecs, and so far I have had one sensor failure (85$) which did not shut the engine down. They have performed very well in a hard working, saltwater, environment.

The previous engines were propped out to factory specs. At WOT the engines turned 6000 rpm's. The Evinrudes are also propped with factory spec, turning even lower at 5800 rpm's. It would be different if the Evinrude props were a lower pitch, however that is not the case here. In theory, the higher rpm engines should develop more torque, but the 4-strokes clearly don't develop the same torque as 2-strokes.

I just got a 31 contender. it came with 225 yamaha's. I sold them and put on 250 Evinrudes with I-command. I lost over 200 pounds off my transom, and gained 4 knots. Fuel consumption on a plane is roughly the same, but I have more power than before, and a much faster hole shot. I burn 2 gallons every 5 hours when working with divers in the water.

yamaha is the best

evinrud can not to rival yamaha Especially 2stroke

all vid of evinrude in youtube it just commercial

[mtkalik]

This was not a commercial. We had Yamaha engines before the Evinrudes, and we wanted to show the difference. The yamaha engines could not KEEP the boat on a plane with only one engine running. The evinrudes can GET the boat on a plane towing a 22' boat. For search and rescue, that kind of power is important. If you don't know what you are talking about, maybe you should keep your thoughts to yourself.

These 250hp engines are torque monsters. Wait until you see the new 2008 300hp E-Tecs. BRUTAL. Just like the new 250Hp HO's 18' boat, 250HO, 2 skiiers. 85mph. Used 70 litres of fuel in 112km Ski Race in Australia. Awesome power, Awesome fuel economy.

Since that day all the tags worlwide they use evinrude 250 and its time for the tankers to find out this magnificent outboards and allso use them.What a crap...

[dragoncustomcycles]
