Evinrude's New Generation 2 Outboards!

Postby Nelly » Sun Jun 15, 2014 7:54 am

Evinrude has just thrown the design gauntlet down with their revolutionary new E-TEC G-2 engines!

Radical new design, more fuel efficient, more towing power and more stable RPM's in heavy seas!

WOW! I have had my 130 E-Tec for the last three years and its awesome!
Great power, Great fuel efficiency. http://youtu.be/Cz1nQjg0MAo

I don't know if they are going to continue to make the 130, but it is perfect for the 18ft range boat.

When I upgrade in couple of year I'm definitely staying with Evinrude.

2 years ago I repowered my Duckworth with a new 150 E-Tec. After having 2 fuel injectors die on me in the first 60 hours and never able to get it to run without a stumble, the boat was sold. Never again.

Many happy E-Tec owners but I would have been better off sticking with my 115 Yammie.

Sorry to hear of your experience W,
All I can tell you is that I've been runnin Evinrude E-Tec since they came out over a decade ago.
The freedom from changing oil, reduced overall maintenance and the pride of running an excellent American Made product has kept me happy and trouble-free on the water.
Every outboard manufacturer has its issues, in fact, I turned to Evinrude when I had several bad experiences with the brand you mentioned.
One thing is for sure, I can't wait to see the E-TEC Generation 2's on the water! cheers

We're having Evinrude Pro Eric Olson on the show this Saturday and as luck would have it I asked him that same question.

For now the 15HO will be the smallest offering in the E-TEC line

After several years of running the 15HO I can tell you first hand that I have not had a single issue with it and the 15 amp alternator keeps my electrical system humming! cheers
