Evinrude E-TEC engines are sophisticated and simple, requiring no scheduled dealer maintenance for three years or 300 hours of normal recreational use. There are no belts or valves to adjust or replace, not even an oil change is needed.
Evinrude E-TEC two-stroke direct injection engines have less weight and more torque than four-stroke outboards, giving them faster acceleration and higher speeds. Two stroke technology provides a power stroke every revolution instead of every other revolution like four-strokes do providing the ultimate in boating power and performance.
Evinrude E-TEC engines run exceptionally quiet and burn far less fuel than other outboard engines thanks to a fully stratified combustion system coupled with an engine management module. Fuel reaches the exhaust port only after the port has closed, and twice as fast as traditional direct injection engines. This means the fuel charge never escapes the combustion chamber as it is burned and turned into pure power. The
E-TEC system also senses when to change the delivery of fuel into the chamber, depending on engine needs, resulting in precision fuel flow and extreme fuel efficiency. The exclusive E-TEC oil system eliminates mixing oil and gas, and complete combustion in the chamber prevents any oil from escaping into the environment.
Evinrude E-TEC emissions are so low, the technology won the prestigious Clean Air Excellence Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) - the first time ever a marine engine has received this prestigious recognition for improving air quality creating a safer boating environment. The entire Evinrude E-TEC line produces lower exhaust emissions including lower carbon monoxide emissions than four-stroke engines and meets stringent 2006 EPA, European Union (EU), and 2008 California Air Resources Board (CARB) 3-Star ultra-low emissions standards.
BRP's 2008 model year line-up is headlined by its largest, most powerful outboard yet – the 250-hp High Output. With 3.4 liters of displacement, the additional power and low weight of the 250 H.O. allows boaters to plane heavy loads, make faster hole shots and increase top speed on a variety of recreational boat applications.
Enhancements have been made throughout the entire Evinrude® E-TEC® line with component and design upgrades that extend the easy-to-own, low maintenance attributes to maximize the owner's quality time on the water. The following upgrades create increased durability, longevity and operator comfort: unique iridium spark plugs; enhanced calibration and a patent-pending fast rise inductive ignition system for smooth running at every RPM range; improved cylinder sleeve design; and enhanced fuel injectors. BRP continues to refine its outboard line for continuous cutting-edge leadership in superior engine performance and reliability.
The entire Evinrude E-TEC product line incorporates advancements in technology that have evolved at a very fast pace. Evinrude engines offer a perfect package of power, ease of use, reliability, and cleanliness no matter the horsepower. The model year 2008 line-up expands consumer choices in high quality, low maintenance outboards.
Like all Evinrude E-TEC outboards, the 250 H.O. is compact and lightweight – an amazing 128 pounds (58 kg) lighter than competitive engines at the same horsepower. With less weight comes improved fuel efficiency, less draft and improved boat handling, superior visibility while planing the boat quicker, and less stress on the boat transom. The 250 H.O. tops-off the Evinrude E-TEC line-up in horsepower and advanced innovative features including the high-speed, nose cone Lightning™ gear case, manufactured from the toughest grade metals and alloys for increased strength and performance.
The Evinrude E-TEC expansion includes nine models in the 40 through 60-hp in-line two cylinder engines; three models in the 75 through 90-hp in-line three cylinder engines; one new model in each of the 115-hp V4 60-degree and 150-hp V6 60-degree engines; two models in the 200 through 250-hp V6 90-degree platform; and two models in 250 H.O. The additions include new tiller choices, increased color and shaft length options, and counter-rotation availability for 115-hp twin applications. Also new for 2008 are 65 and 90-hp Evinrude E-TEC outboards developed for commercial and government use. Available in four models, the engines are more tolerant to varying fuel grades and the demands of commercial markets. I-Command™ instruments, designed specifically for the NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) 2000 certification, are standard in Evinrude E-TEC V4 and V6 engines.
