You are supposed to run your water hose off the inlet at the back of the motor because you can burn out your impeller water pump by using the cups on the lower unit. It happened to me.
I sold this motor last year, but I love etecs. I think the "nightmare" that people are referring to comes from how advanced their onboard computers and sensors are. Repairs can be more costly than older 2 strokes, but I find their dependability on par with modern 4 strokes.
You need the EV diagnostic software. I bought a kit on eBay that had the disk and cable for pretty cheap. That way you can hook your laptop up to the outboard.
I've had problems with mine from less than 100 run hrs fire's right up runs for first 15 mins then goes in limp mode been in 2 different shops 4 different times and I seen lots of comments on same problem after couple hrs it's cranks up like nothing ever happened
I have had a similar issue in the past with a relatively new etec. The person I bought that motor from told me that he had taken it to a dealership and they were unable to figure the problem out also. After wrenching on it for a while, it turned out that it had a bad vapor separator. More specifically, the fuel pump inside that canister went bad. Unfortunately, at the time evinrude did not sell a replacement for just the pump, so I had to buy the entire vapor separator which was around $300. The motor ran beautifully after that. I cannot promise that you are having the same issue, but it sounds very familiar. Good luck!
@@MakeItBetter1 I am curious as to how much did it cost. There is one in my country at US$2800 and I have to ascertain if the former dealer still carries parts and diagnostics equipment!
Nice quite motor the only thing that I don`t like is the Pull rope me pulling it and my fingers would rake across the Shifter. Pair it with a Stainless Prop and you could get closer to 10 mph. more speed from it. Enjoyed it
Sweet engine, quiet and smooth.
Your video shows a very informative with the motor cover off ..!👍

Still running good? Thinking about purchasing a 2017 etec 25hp but some people say they are nightmares.

How do you check the hours and run the engine diagnostics?
