[QUOTE="Weldorthemagnificent, post: 462440, member: 22139"] Having run etec snowmobiles, I have to say the technology is super. Clean burning, efficient, low smoke, 2 stroke torque etc. Tohatsu also has a 40 HP direct injected 2 stroke that would be worth a look if one was shopping. I won't bad mouth the Yamaha because I believe it's a good motor. Honestly anything new these days is a good bet. However the Yamaha 40 and the Evinrude are 2 different animals. The Yamaha at 750 cc shares the platform with its 30 HP outboard. While the Evinrude with more than 100 cc extra displacement is part of the 40-50-60 family. Not only is it going to have more torque, everything else is heavier duty. Gearbox, engine case, crankshaft etc. It's not the electronic injection system that outweighs a four strokes valve train. Everything about that motor is designed to withstand 60 HP. As for the 25lbs difference, if an additional 25 lbs is the breaking point that causes waves to come over the transom then the OP had probably stick with what he has. That's why it was suggested to do a weight test on the water prior to swapping engines. It's all moot anyway as he already owns the etec. We are just having fun discussing it while we wait for him to get his mule shifted outta neutral and do something to report back! Lol. Sent from my CLT-L04 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
