....for a total of three.
The first is on the cop boat that never leaves its slip.
Second was on a ProLine 21, looked like a repower. Floating in the
launch ramp area, with the operator trying again and again to get the
engine started. Engine turned, coughed and sputtered. Problem unknown to
me.
Third was on a Grady, also a repower, at the marina boat/motor repair
shop. Didn't stop to find out what was happening, of course.
Three eTecs. Never seen one running.
New technology!

I ahve yet to see the first one, outside of a picture. I've boated on
Carlyle many, many times and have seen some excellent craft, none E-

I'm sure it does. However, I live adjacent to a huge body of water,
where there are thousands of outboard boaters, and the marina I use is
mostly populated by "fishing guys" with outboard boats. I've seen about
every brand of outboard *running* out of that marina, except Evinrude
eTecs. I keep hoping to see at least the cops out in the Whaler with the
eTec. >> Stay informed about: Saw two more eTecs this morning... |

The market for eTecs is very territorial. Northeast CT, to be specific.

Maybe if you speed around in a slow zone, you'll see if the do in fact
get out there.
P.S. I would never condone the voluntary violation of any laws, whether
or not they make sense in the first place.  >> Stay informed about: Saw two more eTecs this morning... |

Once you get outside this particular marina, there really isn't a slow
zone. The cops stationed there have two boats, a whaler and a cruiser,
and I have never seen either out on the water. >> Stay informed about: Saw two more eTecs this morning... |

Speaking of your neck of the woods, do you know when the next 'flea market'
will be held at TriState? I've got a bunch of trolling stuff I want to get
rid of. >> Stay informed about: Saw two more eTecs this morning... |

I saw several on pro bass boats a couple of weeks ago when picking up bait.
My friends dock neighbor also has one on his boat. They are not really

Right. That must be it, and the ones that are running have grey or black
hoods, not white hoods. >> Stay informed about: Saw two more eTecs this morning... |
