I've also heard that the 75 E-TEC is quite strong, whereas I suspect the 75 Merc is REALLY detuned given that it shares the same platform as the 90 and 115. I imagine the internals are very robust with the Merc, but I'm not sure if the power to weight ratio is advantageous. I also suspect that the E-TEC could troll down slower by having the idle programmed down to the 600 RPM limit I believe it is.
If a motor is the detuned version of a family of motors that also has a much higher HP (like the Optimax 75HP) that is a GOOD THING.
You usually end up with a motor that has a higher displacement than the engines from other manufacturers that wring out all the motor has for 75HP.
More displacement=more low end grunt-what you want for a boat. |
