Uhhh BS...Redbelly wrote:I have been told that Etec's are 80% plastic and high labor time to work on. Whereas Tohatsu is easier to work on less labor= less mechanic charge.
I like that TLDI technology.
I obviously don't know the exact % of plastic in an etec, but just looking at it I see more than 50% alloy.

I have a 7 year old tohatsu 140. I have not had to do one thing to it. Go to Blountstown and see Ed Holley. It is worth the drive.
