Hello All,
I have been experiencing nothing but frustration trying to locate an Evinrude Ficht Mechanic here in Miami Fla. I'm now even searching Broward County and haven't had any success at this point. Even E-Tec mechanics wont touch this engine for one excuse or another. I cant imagine that this engine is that complicated that it is being abandoned by former Evinrude mechanics. One even suggested that I replace it with an older OMC motor from the 90's, really? Doesn't seem to add up to me.
Given the above, out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on Ficht motors and whether or not they should be replaced? FYI mine is a 2004 200hp and is in cherry condition
Alternatively, does anyone on this forum know of any mechanics here in South Florida that are capable Ficht mechanics?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can render here.
