geeviam Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 ...which includes a 115 H.O., 140 hp and 150 hp! Even the biggest Yamadog 4-Stroke fan would have to be impressed, as am I. At just a few pounds heavier the the VF115 SHO, I think the E-TEC G2 150 would be a nicely balanced powerpack for the Maverick HPX-V 18, to get over 60 smiles per hour!

mulligan Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 They might not be pretty but they look better when you are hauling the mail and your eyes start to water! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeviam Posted June 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 The new look of the Evinrude E-TEC G2 took some getting used to, when they first came out... but the new Mercury design is going to take even longer to warm up to. I like this all-white option on the G2, and if you watch the whole video review - the advanced features are pretty cool. I am very happy with my 115 SHO, but the low maintenance of the G2, along with the extra torque, and great fuel economy (without all the smoke/polution) - makes it worth a look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coto Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 The looks are not the best but it sure has some really cool features. I'm a Yamaha fan but I would consider this option as well if I were to repower but only after a couple of years worth of actual owner reviews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captpn Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Not really a player at 115 since its heavy ~390. But for the 140 and 150 class it's really really light at 397 --- the Yam F150 is #480. I could see this 150 on weight sensitive boats like an HPX18 or Marquesa... and save 80+ pounds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishmanjj Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 I’m curious how the 150 three cylinder will actually perform vs the original six cylinder design. My buddy with his Action Craft currently running a Evinrude 115 HO is trading at first availability for the new 140 three cylinder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captpn Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 From a recent article: "The 1.9-liter Evinrude G2 is also offered at 140 and 150 horsepower, and at the 150 rating the Evinrude is suddenly svelte, 88 pounds lighter than the 2.8-liter Yamaha F150CA. Only the Evinrude G2 150 model is equipped with R.A.V.E. (Rotax Adjustable Valve Exhaust), a two-position exhaust port that broadens the power band. However, the 150 seemed to lack grunt when asked to push a well-loaded 1,950-pound Key West 203DFS dual-console runabout out of the hole; we waited through a lot of bow rise. The Yamaha, the 3.0-liter Mercury 150 FourStroke, and the original 2.7-liter V6 Evinrude E-TEC G2 150 H.O. enjoy a big displacement advantage at 150 horsepower, so the 1.9-liter Evinrude 150 might be best-suited for easy-planing, lightweight hulls."

redzone1 Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 It’s still an Evinrude and it’s still an E-Tec. Lots and lots problems with G2 Etec. It amazing BPR’s snowmobiles and other lines are bulletproof, yet they have never quite figured outboard realizability out. Yes there are some that are quite satisfied, but most that own them are not. I do like how they look though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I may be in need of a repower soon.. heck all the new designs are somewhat ugly. That's an impressive review, still, really hard to wrap my head around buying an ETech. Anybody know MSRP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
