I thought the Ficht was the crap model, type it into google and see all the problems people have had.

Both motors giving the same code? Seem a little unlikely unless the boat is rigged with a single fuel tank. More info required. Are they Ficht or E-Tec? Model number will reveal which they are. Plugs used to be the main problem but not so on the more recent ones. Software diagnosis is crutial and easy to do - for your local dealer that is. Come to Jersey and I can be as local as you like!!

Keep away from omc motors. The brp one's are sound. 2002 on yards are the one's to have. I done a back to back with am etec and prefered the ficht. They were both 115hp and were raced. You will need the software for diagnostic more info.
