The best overall place for diving, fishing, interesting other boats, scenery, would be San Juanico. La Paz's new Malicon walk is beautiful, new sculptures, bricks, walls, lighthouse. Marina La Paz is by far the best place to dock, everything you could imagine for a marina is there. Since the wind is...

I have a repair manual,spare parts, and new prop, if your interested, bought a E-Tec...

I have been using the Vagabundos del Mar liability insurance for years, good and cheap. I just returned from a trip from San Carlos to La Paz in two weeks. No problem with the gas, but a rip off at Puerto Escondido, 20% extra surcharge... Boat held up great through the 4 day storm out of L.A. Santan...

My 60 had a oil leak from the where the tank seam split and had to have the tank replaced. Then they screwed up the pump somehow and now am waiting for a new pump.... Problem also fouled the plugs, carbonized.
Anyone pleased with the gas mileage?

Thanks for the info. The boat is in dry storage at San Carlos and I am at home waiting for the new tank to come in. The old tank is epoxied and has held for temp. Hopefully the dealer can get the new tank before I return. Anyone with this motor should watch out for smoking, first sign. I have used t...

I have a 2006 E-Tec 60 and only have a few hours on it and want to warn others to check the oil reservoir, mine cracked on the seam and I have found out mine is not the first. They must order and replace, being in Mexico is going to take time, Manana. The other problem is the location of the depth o...

Thanks for all the info. The install will be done by the Mexican Evinrude dealer for 6250, tax? I hope to be there to super., there is a backing plate that may have to be redrilled or changed. I hope the cables can be used from the old shifter or are provided. The hookup for the steering rods I hope...

I am planning to repower my 2000x from a merc.Bigfoot 50 to the evinrude e-tec 60. Does anyone know if there will be any modifications necessary? The work will be done in mexico and i would like to be aware of any changes with the new shifter cables or steering gear. Has anyone done this? Too many p...

We use our X for fishing in the Sea of Cortez all of the time, works out great, caught and released many sailfish 5-6' long, a little hard for two of us hanging over the side to get the hook out. Last year caught this shark, couldn't get our favorite lure out, roped it up out of the water until it d...

:macx: I have been fishing the Sea of Cortez from my 2000x for 2 years now without a downrigger and have had no problems. We have caught dorado, tuna, caught and released two marlins, two sailfish. we have a system of one person holding the rod with tension, also the back of the others belt, while o...

We just got back from Baja from San Carlos and carried two 9s stock,
two 6s under the seat and a 2.5 in between them. Easy to taxi into town,
to refuel. Sailed most of the way this trip as favorable winds happened...

Thanks for the info. on the quick self tailors. I thinks I will just use the 20-30 year old winch helpers to handle the lines for me. It is just getting the lines right over the winches when you are in a hurry. Installing new selftailing winches seem like a big job unless the holes line up. The quic...

Has anyone used these wincher, self tailors, that you put on your winch?
I would like to order some from west marine, but I don't know the winch
size, Anyone know? Thanks.
