I got a few pics at weekend I will upload of major strip downs and massive cracks in hulls. Few power head swaps done as one dropped a cylinder, one went upside down so was knackered, one lost an ecm and no spares in country. P1 seems like one big family and everyone was pitching in to fix damaged engines and boats until 3am on Sunday morning. All interesting stuff and thanks to the Pitt guys for the natter.

I can't say I've seen much mention of it on here. There was the unit that Kerny broke - bad casting IIRC. I googled "Evinrude Transom Failure" there's Kerny's case and a some racing HOs. The feedback on Evinrude Owners Forum was that it was rare in their experience.

If you google "bracket" rather than "saddle" you'll be better informed.

The term 'saddle' is particular to the UK. In the States, the 'saddle' is referred to as the bracket. Therefore, as the numbers of outboards sold in the US exceeds the UK many fold and thus, generates far more online chatter. Using US terminology would give a more accurate picture, rather than the occasional busted saddle in the UK.
Does this make sense to you?

The forum is international. It does have a large number of users from across the UK and Ireland, commensurate with the relative popularity of RIBs in the UK, but unless there is something specific about Etecs+RIBs then I think Willk's point is that you'd have a much larger "sample set" to base your "evidence" on if you use the US nomenclature of bracket, given the larger total number of outboards sold in North America.

Dunno, but if this is the latest recruit to the Rudebash party, we can pack up and go home, job done.
