Depending where you go fishing I would consider having a small auxillary on the boat for emergency use. This goes for any modern outboard. They work brilliantly, until they don't. Disclaimer: All of the above is Internet only. I do not own an e-tec but am considering one for my next boat as in the smaller sizes they pull like nothing else. So having some spare time I have done a lot of reading. This is what I found.
