E-TECTM, AS IN YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET.
Launched in February 2003, the Evinrude® E-TECTM technology heralds a new era in the outboard engine industry.
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.
Whisper-quiet operation
A moulded foam inner liner. An air silencer. A Helmholtz resonator. An improved piston. An idle air bypass. An enhanced idle relief. E-TEC owners will immediately notice the whisper-quiet operation and what Bombardier Recreational Products calls a "signature sound" when on power.
Extremely low maintenance
E-TEC engines need no scheduled maintenance, no dealer winterization, no spring tune-up for three years of normal recreational use. And, you never have to change the oil.
Durability, quality and reliability
The "sure start system" designed to fire within one revolution is controlled by the EMM onboard computer. The sealed fuel system is designed for long-term storage, as well as heavy-duty usage. The components are oversized for durability. The corrosion protection resists high temperatures. E-TEC is tough stuff.
Already designed to be California Air Resources Board (CARB) 3-star compliant, the complete line of Evinrude outboard engines will be equipped with the E-TEC technology by 2005, including the big V-6 engines.
At the Miami Boat Show in February 2003, the Evinrude E-TEC was named Innovation of the Year in the Engine category.
