2007 Etec 175 Questions

[Rybones]

Considering purchasing a 2007 175 with less than 300 hours for my 20sf. I know in general CSC is etec leaning, with performance to weight ratio I understand why. The engine has not been run in 6 months when it was last taken off the boat it was on. Before taking it off the boat, the current owner took it to and etec dealer and had the print out done on it. Is there anything I should be worried about with this engine. Anything to look for? Also, trying to figure out how to read the engine history report.( which I have tried to attach.)

As always, thank you very much for your input guys.

Cheers, RyBones

What's with the #4 cylinder pressure at -56 and the rest at 0? Or "coeff A and B" on the #2 cylinder so opposite of the other cylinders? Why do they make this so confusing?

I definitely don't understand all the coefficient stuff but if you get it I suggest you change the impeller; they develop a 'set' from sitting and it looks like the peak temps near 200 are on the warm side - same thing you would get from a weak impeller.

Like Bushwacker, I love my 2006 Etec 150. Had estimated 275 hours on it when I bought the SeaFari, used it about 25 hours, and had the 300 hour service done at 299 hours! But I thought my printout was more similar to a Yamaha engine history, ie, amount of time spent in 1k rpm increments. Good observation Mitch!

I’d buy another one, or buy this one and I’d trade it for a 1999 Johnson 175 with 162 original hours! Haha. Seriously, don’t know asking price, but I love my Etec.

Since the ECM is cooled by the engine's water I would thing that not having the ECM no higher in temperature than the water is a good thing.

if you head over to barnacle bills website, they can tell you anything you need to know. it is an etec owners website. just put up the serial number and show them the pic you have of the eco printout and they'll give you a dissertation-on the engine

Thank you very much for the input guys. As always, you are a wealth of knowledge and very appreciated.

I spoke with the dealer that did that service and they gave me an explanation of what I was looking at , and whether or not they understood, they definitely couldn't explain it very well. Well at least the gentleman I spoke with there. But it did seem like they were very nice in trying to be awful. However since then, Apparently the seller changed his mind and has gone dark on me. so I'm still looking for an E-Tec. I'd really prefer a 200 anyhow. But thanks everybody for your help to my last minute questions. :-)

Rybones- There may be some disagreement, but 175HP seems plenty for your sf20. With a ETEC 150 HO (approx. 165HP), I hit 50 mph with an incorrect prop on my 175HP max rated, 20' Seafari; seemed too fast for my comfort. With a High Five prop I can hit 42mph which my barefooting buddy requests.
