In terms of durability, which one would you recommend if considering new 40hp? I am considering Etec, Yamaha or Merc. The Merc's are almost 2k cheaper which has me wondering why? I am partial to Yamaha due to the raving reviews over the years, is this still the case with their modern day motors? What kind of maintenance intervals are involved with a Yamaha? Are they expensive and frequent? I understand the Etec's don't need maintenance for the first 3 years/500 hrs which is attractive to me. What has their reliability been like though? Bottom cylinder on my 96 40hp Evinrude showing 40PSI less than top, so a rebuild would be in order. Dundas Marine says 2-3k for rebuild and new Etec/Yammy is around 7k. Anybody have any suggestions as to where I could get a more reasonable quote that delivers good work? Open to suggestions and does not need to be local. Thanks in advance.
