!!!???Nearly the opposite is true. Most of the boats they (and every other I/O manufacturer) sell now are injected.
Run, don't walk, from that mechanic. There's nothing wrong with a carb engine, but that guy's an idiot.

I am curious about which of you has fuel injection? A mechanic told me that Four Winns abandoned Fuel Injected engines a few years ago. Read my posts about Engine Power Loss as I ask this question -- as they put my engine together am I better off abandoning fuel injection for a carb? Can it even be done? Thanks, Mark |

Update your signature to include your boat year and model. It helps others give more relevant answers. Carburetors are less expensive than EFI systems. Smaller boats may have a carbureted engine as a cost-savings factor. For larger engines it's generally more fuel efficient to use an EFI system. Since the larger engines are usually on larger boats, or as a higher-priced option on the smaller boats, the added cost of EFI isn't much of a factor. If I had an engine that was setup for EFI I certainly wouldn't switch back to carbs. EFI systems have evolved over the years. If I had an older EFI system that wasn't very good, I'd certainly considered upgrading it to a newer EFI system instead of 'cheaping out' and downgrading to a carb setup. But this would depend on the size of engine and boat. As for that mechanic's "advise", be afraid... be very afraid of what other half-assed notions he's entertaining in that little mind of his... |

Replace your mechanic as fast as Mike said, efi is an easy to understand system its hard to believe a mechanic would want a carb instead. Im thinking on changing my carbureted 460s over to fuel injection. Take Care Gregg
