Best I can see it's standard.

Bassmeister,
The reason I ask is because today I went and picked up my new boat that I ordered with a white 2008 150HO E tec and when I got to the dealership, the motor didn't have the small "HO" decal on the back of the motor. He said the motor was shipped as soon as it was built and that there was some type of plastic covering over the motor that stuck to the decal and pulled it off when he removed it. Also, the stars n stripes decals look to me like they were applied after leaving the factory. There are bad blaces where the decal has lines and so forth in them and I can see where it looks like someone used a sharp point to poke a hole to let the air bubbles out. Is there any way to contact the manufacturer to find out if the dealer is being shady. Thanks for any and all help.

An HO model would have the letter H after the D in the model number. It also has the stars and stripes decal and the Lightning style gearcase.

Call Evinrude customer service at 847-689-7090 to hear it officially. Have the serial number handy when you call.

Thanks Seahorse,
The motor has the stars n stripes decals, but like I said, they look to be put on after leaving the factory to me but, the motor does appear to have the lightening gear case. I think. Thanks for the number. I will call them tomorrow. Thanks to all who replied.

Hi Rogbu, do as Seahorse says but I think you will find your "dealer" has not done the right thing by you, because here in OZ and I am also sure in the States the "HO" 150HP is only available in L/S(either blue or white) and by the model numbery you have posted your boat runs an XL, so you do not have a 150HP HO E-TEC. I would be guessing, but I think they have purchased the decal set and put onto a STD XL 150HP and said to you it was the HO, also the gearcase would be dead giveaway becasue the HO has the gearcase with the nosecone.

I hope you get it sorted out to your satisification,

Cheers,

Huey.

Huey,
Thanks , just to make sure, you are referring to Long Shaft in HO only and X long shaft for the Standard 150 that is more than likely what is on my boat.
Thanks,

Does the gearcase have removable black plastic water pickup screens or a series of drilled holes in the side of the case for water inlets?

[rogbu]

It has the side black plastic water intake and it also has the series of holes drilled in the front of the nose of the lower unit or lowere intake as you may call it. The dealer called it low water intake.
Thanks,

If you bought and paid for a 150HO, call your attorney, don't even crank it up. You do not have an HO model.

[Huey]

Hi Rogbu, if your engine is the one that you posted the model number with you do not have the HO, you have an XL engine and the 150HP HO is only available as a Longshaft, and on the boat you have you can not get the HO due to the transom being XL.

Here in Oz a XL 150HP E-TEC is $600 less than the HO, so at least you are owed a bit of money due to the fact you have an XL and the boat can not take the HO.

I hope you get it sorted,

Cheers,

Huey.

First o fall, I want to thank everyone for the helpful replies to my post. After conacting Bombardier Customer service and explainging my situation and giving Model # and Serial #'s it was confirmed that I DO have the "standard" white 150 E TEC with the 25 inch shaft, NOT the HO model THAT I PAID FOR. I spoke to the dealer and told him that I was not paying for an HO model because they don't make one with an XL shaft. He said he had to make some calls and check things out and he would call me back. Anyhow, six hours later I CALL HIM BACK and he said that Bombardier made this motor special for my Alumacraft Navigator 175. The upgrade "Special motor" price difference would be nearly $700. I called Bombardier and they said that is B. S. My motor was a standard factory built motor with the XL shaft. NOTHING SPECIAL BUILT. I contacted the dealer and told him to refund my money or I would take this as far as I needed to go to get my $700. HE AGREED TO REFUND MY MONEY!!!!!!!! Thanks to everyone again for your help.

Glad you got it worked out. That dealer needs a call from BRP and his ass chewed!!!

[triton1cos]

arse chewed hell i would write him off as a brp dealer.whom ever that dealer is if what went down is true.they my friend are thieves.wonder how many other non h.o ho's they have counterfieted.sorry s.o.b's.nothin worse than a thief. this is pathetic.

[Huey]

I agree with the others, this guy should not be a BRP dealer and I know here in OZ, BRPA would give him the boot and hopefully they do because this guy went to alot of trouble to try and con you with the stickers and all.

I hope you get your money refunded and now go out and enjoy your new outboard and find a new dealer. I am sure you will like the STD 150HP E-TEC anyway, because the small block V6 are such nice engines and in my opinion the stand out engine in the whole E-TEC range, very smooth, quiet, powerful and fuel efficient.

Rogbu,

what area are you in? don't want to hang a dealer out to dry but...

Give me your e-mail and I'll get you my phone #. would like to make sure this doesn't happen in the future w/out burying the dealer.

[GUIDO]

Wow, stickers and everything. I'm speechless.

[flathead266]

[Bassmeister]

That stinks!!! I'm glad they are refunding your money, I hope BRP drops 'em like a hot rock!!!!
