In have a friend looking to purchase a E-tec 40 hp outboard. is this motor a good one without many issues?

I bought a new 50hp E-tec this spring. I did have a couple of minor issues with it but the dealer took great care of me. I love the motor. It uses very, very little oil and sips the gas. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I would strongly recommend it!

They run great when their not in the shop.

I believe the software updates are pretty much done with except for the higher H.P. motors.

I have a 75hp E-Tec on my duck boat and it is the best motor I ahve ever owned. I second the great fuel & oil economy. Mine has never been in the shop.

my dad put a 60 hp on his Crestliner and loves it. The first thing he noticed was the fuel economy.

When I was looking at boats earlier, a dealer told me that the 40,50 and 60 hps were a bit sluggish and not as smooth running as 75hp on up. I'm just repeating what I heard from another boat dealer.

I've got two seasons on my E-tec 60hp tiller.So far so good.I would think the 40 would be no different than the 60.I'm planning on picking up a jon boat and will put a 40 e-tec on that.
