Location: Eastern Ontario | Want to repower my boat and cant decide between 60 HP e-tech or 60HP Merc 4 stroke both available from same dealer and roughly the same cost.
Dealer says etech has less maintenance and will troll slower than 4 stroke because rpm's on 4 stroke have to be kept up to maintaine oil pressure.
I would have thought the 4 stroke would have been the better troller.
Opinions please |

Location: Eastern Ontario | Consol would get new controlls in any case selling old controls with old 50 merc 2 stroke |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | The Merc four stroke trolls down really well. I have had both the 40 and the 50, and both are great engines. I've sold a bunch of 60 merc four strokes, and they are stellar engines.
That said, if you want a two stroke, the Bombardier is your only option in a 60. |
