some guys get the good ones.hope you have 30 more.

total weight 34 lbs big fish 11.5

my boys works fine.

That is the way me grandfather showed me back in the sixtys it works great in shallow and fast moving water to get your bait down on bottom. the one thing I do diffrent is use a leader where he tied directly to the lead line. sone old river rats still do.

I have run both and found no noticable diffrents in the way thay run.but I run it in 15 feet and less so I dont know how it would work in deeper applications.

put mine away it keeps going in safe mode and shows no oil had two new codes put in it but still does it.but when the temp is above 35 I have no problems other than that. with over 200 hours on it.

thanks for the comeback guys and it is electric start.I would type more but this took me 20 min!

Bought two in sept one for each of my boys. great starter guns for them.and lots of fun for me as well.

thanks for the info guys.

I bought a set two years ago from whitecap best sevice and deal you will ever get!!!!

I have over 80 hours on my 40 E-tec and have had only one problem–when they rigged it they pinched the gas line in the motor casing. It took a few days on that but thats not a motor problem. My motor also turns over when its in gear and will not start. Good thing that it does not. After a couple of times doing that you learn to check to put it in neutral. I have to say that I am very happy with the performance (gas and oil use)of my E-tec.

I troll the backwaters alot so i run 27lbs with a 310 gti penn holds 8 colors. on the lake I use the 320 gti with 10 colors.along with a three foot leader on all my leadline rods.

Had vinyl in my boat first year.put carpet in second year best move I made no more slipping cuts or edges curling up and looks great. dark grey hides every thing

I have been using north lake launch with no problem.just go down the shore line past the island then angel straight for the slought.

thanks guys

like chappy said theeeeere great I bought the 40 this spring and I have nothing but good things to say. see you on pool 3

try twin citys outboards all used parts on any moter you can think of.

upper pool 4 not a bad day drifting crawlers on jigs.

I have the 40 e-tec and it is the real deal its quiet and has lots of power. had it out this past weekend 5 hours of steady running and used not even 3 gallons of gas.I have a total of 20 hours on it.

bringing mine in this week for its check up. Iam very pleased with my 40 e-tec all i wanted and more. having a tack put in to fined the sweet spot for gas use.

I allso had a 6 foot rod box.what i did was cut one end out then cut out the side of my front bench fit them together and had a 7+ rod locker.

I like to use flora-carbon for my leader.i have lost very few lures with it and catch rate is the same as mono and braids.zebra mussels dont cut it up as bad.

chappy 40 e-tec how has your gas comsumption been is it better with the 17 pitch. and hows it running?

very cool

JONH call ken at smittys trust BILL you will get the best deal on your trade from ken.

just used my deep fryer tonight made beer batter walleye and there is nothing better on a cold winter night.my boys like it so much Iam lucky to get any fish. better hide a little when I cook it.

guys does that include tiller handle.the quote i got was with it becouse its a option not standard?

Thanks Chappy do you happen to have a phone number to call them?

From what I read there prefomance sounds great but like HERB i will wait and see if the bugs are worked out. I did check with a dealer on the price and a 40 tiller rounds around 5500 550 just for the tiller handle little high
