Evinrude vs Mercury
I recently had a local boat dealer and Evinrude enthusiast give me strong
lecture on the virtues of how Evinrude had done the super clean high performance direct injection thing first with their FICHT engines. I had commented on the number of Evinrudes that had blown up for a few years. His comment was that Mercury was having the same problem with their Optimax that Evinrude had with their FICHT engines, but Evinrude had been doing it longer and they were over their problems with the new technology. I was just reading an article in a 1998 Bassin' magazine. They were talking about how Mercury had added some new HP sizes to their Optimax line that year, and that FICHT engines had started showing up on bass rigs the year before. So exactly how much longer has Evinrude been playing with direct injection technology. That article makes it seem like they were both introducing the technology to the market at nearly the same time. Even if Evinrude was a year ahead that was 6-7 years ago. Its always interesting to see the way people's passions can color their memory and/or view point. (I admit I am not immune from this.) Now of course my serious interest in this subject is more contemporary than that, but I found the comments, and the article very interesting. -- ** FREE Fishing Lures ** Weekly drawing ** Public Fishing and Boating Forums ** www.YumaBassMan.com

Evinrude vs Mercury
I have no specifics, but I believe that it is safe to say that both Evinrude
and Mercury have contributed equally toward the great success of Yamaha. -- Bob Rickard (AKA Dr. Spinnerbait) www.secretweaponlures.com --------------------------=x O'))) "Bob La Londe" wrote in message ...
