Re: Haines Hunter 400 Sea Wasp
Makes sense when fixing the holes is the cheaper option.
Don't like etecs, never have and especially after the few I've encountered. And there's no weight or cost benefit compared to the 4 stroke.

Re: Haines Hunter 400 Sea Wasp
i believe mercury and mariner use the Tohatsu motors in the 30hp and under models.
theres always the tohatsu TLDI if you dont want the Etec or dont want to spend more $$ on the Optimax.
