    What is the operating temp for a 225 ETEC HO, mine seems high.

    I hooked up my Lowrance 520 to my ETEC for engine data and found that my 2007 ETEC HO is running about 165 degrees. The 2006 Optimax that I had previously never got above 135 or so.

    Spec is 160 +/- 10 degrees. Temp is right where you want it for best fuel efficiency and good plug life.

    I have a new 2007 225 ETEC HO/201 STRATOS and I also have a 520 in my boat. Please explain to me how you can connect to get motor temperature on your GPS/Depth finder. Still Learning about this rig.

    My dealer connected mine a few weeks ago to my LMS-332 NMEA network. Your dealer will need to order you a cable from Evinrude for the EMM connection and add another T-Connector to the NMEA network and your all set from there. Simple as that......

    Thanks Rod,
    I didn't know that these units have that capabilities. Like I said I'm still learning about all the new angles to my rig. Thanks again

    BRP part number 763517 harness and T-Connector is all you need, the harness will tell all kinds of information. RPMS,gal/hr,temp,
    voltage output,hours,trim %,throttle %. ect.
