    Injector problems-'08 150 HO Etec

    So far this year I have had to have 2 injectors replaced on my '08 150HO, it has 67 hours on it. Yesterday I had it in the water for only the second time since the last injector was replaced. Felt it sputter once while running. After fishing a spot, I cranked up and hit the throttle and got the all too familar bogging down and taking a long time to get on plane.

    Hooked up to the laptop this morning and it shows #5 injector with an open circuit.

    To say I an frustrated is a huge understatement!!! I just hope I don't one of those "Spend more time on the water" ads today...

    They have replaced #2 and 3, the history shows that at some time #1 had an open circuit, but I don't believe that it has been replaced but doesn't show a currect fault. Strange?????

    Could there be something in my set-up causing this? I have a BRP fuel/water separator and have changed it 3 times since buying the engine. I run sta-bil ethanol treatment in every tank and buy e10-free gas whenever i can.

    Thanks for any input.

    Maybe start buying gas at a different place? My 07 has almost 300 hours on it with mostly e10 and I don't put anything in the gas except for when winterizing. I haven't had any injector problems.

    Re: Injector problems-'08 150 HO Etec (rude power)

    I don't plan on selling anytime soon. I keep up on the maintenance, run XD100, and keep the gas fresh so I can't see an issue with not adding anything to the gas. I think I'd rather buy a used motor that never had an issue as opposed to one that had the injectors replaced multiple times.
