The Two-Stroke is alive and kickin'!
About 10 years ago, Chrysler's Joe Goulart was singing the praises of the two-stroke engine as an automotive powerplant. His dream, however, couldn't pass muster with the EPA. As a result, the automotive two-stroke engine died. Environmental concerns dogged the recreational two-stroke, as well. After years of doing nothing, the EPA set strict pollution limits for recreational vehicles (personal water craft, snowmobiles, etc.), which called into question the two-stroke's continued viability. Fortunately, no one told George Broughton, director of Engineering, Boats and Outboard Engines Div. for Bombardier Recreational Products (Sturtevant, WI). He and his team created the Evinrude E-TEC family of two-strokes, an offerring of engines ranging from 40-300HP with the qualities of a four-stroke the EPA covets - yet the advantages of a two-stroke boaters desire.
Evinrude E-TEC is the future of outboard engine technology. Its state-of-the-art design and many innovative features set it apart from the competition.
Environmentally responsible
E-TEC engines optimize oil and gas consumption and create 80% less carbon monoxide than a 4-stroke engine creates at idle. Evinrude E-TEC engines use approximately 50% less oil than traditional direct injection systems and 75% less than traditional 2-strokes. With a fully stratified combustion system, Evinrude E-TEC outboards are designed to comply with 2006 EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) as well as tough 2006 EU (European Union) standards well into the future. E-TEC even meets the ultra-low 2008 CARB (California Air Resource Board) 3-Star emissions rating. For you, it simply means a cleaner boating environment: no smoke and dramatically lower carbon monoxide emissions.
Whisper-quiet operation
The exclusive E-TEC idle air bypass circuit, acoustically tuned air intake and exhaust silencers and state of the art acoustic foam lining combine for an incredibly quiet engine that hums like nothing else on the water.
E-TEC owners will immediately notice the whisper-quiet operation.
Easy to Own
Evinrude E-TEC outboards require no scheduled dealer maintenance - that's right, zero - for the first three years or 300 hours of normal recreational use. Not even gearcase lube. You'll never have to change the oil or the oil filter, which can cost several hundred dollars each year for other technologies.
Evinrude E-TEC uses up to 75% less than typical 2-stroke carbureted engines and up to 50% less oil than competitive direct injection engines (when run with Evinrude/Johnson XD 100T oil with optional dealer programming of the Engine Management Module, versus normal TCW3 oil). And you'll use 30% less oil compared to a 4-stroke with a typical maintenance schedule under normal operating conditions.
One more thing: you know all about winterizing, right?. Our program for the winter or long term storage? Follow a few easy steps that will take just minutes. Then put it away. Maintenance? Forget about it.
Durability, Quality and Reliability
Evinrude E-TEC engines have all three, with robust, oversized motor components throughout for longer engine life. And they're not just big. They're super tough. In fact, our pistons are 2.5 times stronger than traditional pistons at operating temperatures, thanks to a new patented NASA alloy.
That's just the start. The Evinrude E-TEC engines use an exclusive low friction design. There are no belts, no chains, no powerhead gears, no cams, and no mechanized oil pumps.
In addition, all Evinrude E-TEC outboards feature the S.A.F.E. TM (Speed Adjusting Failsafe Electronics) information and alarm system, which reduces engine rpm in case of emergency to prevent engine damage and protect your investment.
After all, this is the future.
Power and Performance
The lightweight design of the Evinrude E-TEC increases performance and boat handling, while its large displacement provides more horsepower and torque. This combination of light weight and high torque makes E-TEC accelerate faster and achieve higher top speeds than any other outboard engine in its class. When you consider the fact that the 2-stroke Evinrude E-TEC produces a power stroke every revolution and it doesn't have the added complexity of belts, camshafts, valves, timing chains and oil pumps that add weight and rob power and torque it's easy to understand why 2>4.
