Evinrude/Johnson Bad Years? - iboats Boating Forums
Aug 27, 2007 · Re: Evinrude/Johnson Bad Years? it's a word i can't say. yes it was the larger motor. direct injections, all kinds of electronics. the good ole carborated omc motors are as good as any. if it says FICHT, you are better staying away. the shops were not prepared for the technology, and poor support from OMC.
