I feel like my 2000 200 Ficht was more fuel efficient than my 2008 200HO Etec. The opposite for oil.

My 2000 225 Ficht and it's replacement 2017 225HO Etec achieve the exact same performance and consumption numbers.
I have been running a primary 10 micron Moeller filter/water separator with sight glass in my bilge before the engine's on-board 10 micron BRP fuel filter for 8 years now. I've never seen a drop of water in the bowl. I also burn no-ethanol gas sometimes 87 and sometimes 91 octane. I am convinced trash or/and bits of deteriorated fuel hose has been the demise of injectors on the Ficht and ETEC engines and therefore the burned/leaned out pistons. I've had 2 injected engines and all injectors on both engines have been replaced. I haven't had a failure now in the eight years I've been double filtering my fuel. It may blow tomorrow but so far so good.

With the xd-100 oil you won't have to decarb either.
Thanks everybody! Just got the wheel in motion to get it.

As long as the engine checks out....compression and check lower unit oil and ask for a computer print out....
He sent me the print outs.

Going from the 97 225 Vindicator to the 03 225HO FICHT Ram is the wiring harness the same? I'm getting all the controls and wiring harness with this motor.

Yep. Just remember on that motor there is a return line from the motor to the oil tank and you'll need to prime the oil pump along with the fuel pump. There is no VRO to bypass on this guy so you can't premix.
