Just bought a used boat very low hours less than 100. The engine is a 2000 evinrude fitch ram injection. I have read so many bad things( a little late) about fitch engines! Is anyone not having problems with this set up? Did bombardier fix these problems prior to 2000? My engine was made 5/2000 model number RE150FLSSM serial #G04871168. Any help with this would be great!! should i keep it or sell it and start over. Boat is in great shape and would love to hear good news.

Re: fitch engine

If it has had the BRP revisions and upgrades done it is probably okay.

If it is a V6 and not upgraded it is a bomb with a short fuse.

It IS a V6 and I wouldn't consider it, even if all the revs were made. The V6's were awful from 1998 thru 2000.
