Thread: The 40HP video

    The 40HP video

    Just thought I would post this in case anyone is curious or hasn't seen it. I thought it was a good non biased video for the products they are testing.

    The two not immediately obvious variables that can really affect these kinds of tests are:

    1. how well the motor is mounted, particularly engine height and if it is set to optimum
    2. Propellors - again, if the optimum prop is fitted to each engine to suit the boat, and if all props are the same material.

    I couldnt see all the props on all the motors, only the etec and the Yammy were visible. The etec was running what appeared to be a shiny stainless prop. The yammy, a painted alloy one. There's a significant factor right there that will affect acceleration and top end, in the etec's favour.
    Note to self: Don't argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience....

    if it was non biased they would have told us how many warranty repairs they have done to Etecs.
    2 strokes have more grunt than 4 strokes. We already knew this.
