windsurfer to you regret the purchase or these the things that you tolerate?I have twin 2017 Etec 115s. Accelerate fast. Quite loud. Less top speed than you'd get with a big single. Icon gauges are glitchy and expensive.
I regret buying the icon gauges. The motors work well on my boat. I like having twins.windsurfer to you regret the purchase or these the things that you tolerate?
The one I am buying comes with the icon touch 4.3 so hopefully it is better than the icon gauges. I am looking forward to twin engines as I will give me peace of mind when off shore.I regret buying the icon gauges. The motors work well on my boat. I like having twins.
Thanks FD, the dealer is local and I have been promised front of line service. I know the owner and the operations manager very well as they are friends. I got a ten year warranty on these engines so I couldn't turn the deal down.m2b
make sure you have a reputable dealer . the service here in Vancouver is horrid now that the "real" Lordship on Victoria has
been bought out by a guy way out in delta , middle of no where , and there way to busy , brushed me off like a chump , was a customers of Dougs and Murrays for over 30 years !! Haruna is just way to small as well , good guys , but also , way to busy
will never buy another Evinrude with the current shops selling and servicing them today ,
, stick with a shop you trust , and can get good service when in need ,
no one beats Gordy ar Breakers Marine
no matter what type of motor you own , he is always there for us !!

I'm with dog ducker, the current repair shops in the lower mainland can not fix the etecs. Now they changed to a G2 and I do not have confidence in simple future repairs. Currently talking to evinrude about problems and the amount of money I have spent on a simple tune up. The place in NVan did a tune up and it cost me double because the gap was all over the place.... .050 is not the gap.m2b

When did they get bought out?That's brutal to hear, the guys at Lordship on Victoria were awesome.
I just got a single 225 HO G2 for my 23 seaswirl and I love it. Fuel efficient, torque........ more engine then I needed. Bought it from Parker marine in Nanaimo. They Are great. I would not get the small screen with twins. Everything I need comes on my lowerance. I would just get wifi adapter and use my phone for anything the gauge offers but I have a single engine. A guy on the striper forum bought a 250 g2 and we met up with him for a test drive. It was like a sports car compared to ours (225 2 smoke Evinrude same boat). So far I love this engine and the fuel economy. I recommend the purchase. The real complexity with these engines(and a big portion of the cost) is the rigging. Do your research. Feel free to pm me for advice. My friend with a large Grady is currently repowering with the twin 150 Ho g2. The warranty I got was 10 years.I am thinking about buying a 2018 campion 682 SC with twin ETEC G2 150's. Does anyone have any feedback on these motors and how they perform?
It comes with the 4.3 etec display but you are saying that everything that you need is on your lowrance? What do you mean by "get a wifi adapter?I just got a single 225 HO G2 for my 23 seaswirl and I love it. Fuel efficient, torque........ more engine then I needed.

I wonder if dog drucker has a bone to grind?
Lordship works hard to maintain its reputation (always has and always will).
It's just gone 2 years since new ownership took over and we think the transition has gone well. Having said that, there is always room for improvement.
It's difficult for marine business to staff in accordance with ebb and flow nature of a seasonal business. However, we do as much as we can with what we have. One thing we ( New Ownership) are very proud of is our staff. Lordship has been gifted with the best Evinrude/Johnson Marine Mechanic in the business and is currently schooling a young and talented apprentice.
Our delta facility has provided us with a chance to expand. Victoria drive had so many limiting factors including escalating commercial taxes, Excessive shuffling of boats to work around limited yard space and and many disruptions bring boats of busy Victoria drive.
We are now aligned with a boat building company that wraps off transom stiffeners, transom plates etc in a effort to be a more complete shop.
We are finding that most of our customers have stuck with us including those as far away as the Sunshine Coast and Deep Cove and in between. The simple reason for this is that we are are good at what we do, we're fair and upfront , honest and reliable.
