New Evinrude outboard motors: combining reliability and performance

But while Mr. Evinrude’s original peaked at 8 Kph, Evinrude outboard motors are capable of accelerating to almost 250 Kph without compromising the qualities that professional and amateur boaters worldwide associate with the Evinrude brand: innovation, performance and reliability.

Featuring the brand’s pioneering two-stroke direct-injection engine technology, the pioneering E-Tec range showcases Evinrude’s best qualities to maximum effect. Ranging in size from 30KW to 224KW, the latest generation of E-Tec engines continues to set new standards of engineering excellence and environmental integrity.

Evinrude consistently produces reliable and user-friendly engines that have become the automatic choice among generations of professional and recreational boat users around the world. In South Africa, CMH Marine & Leisure’s nationwide network of Evinrude dealers stocks the most comprehensive selection of new Evinrude outboard engines in the country. Among other options, our range features Evinrude’s pioneering E-Tec range.

When Evinrude unveiled its E-Tec range in 2001, its revolutionary injection system rewrote the book on outboard engine design. Starting with the entry level E40, the current E-Tec range is headed up by the mighty E300 HP, a 3.5-litre thoroughbred that delivers an impressive 224KW. Whichever E-Tec engine you choose, you can count on Evinrude’s signature standards of reliability and performance – at the keenest prices.

Like every boat motor in the Evinrude catalogue, E-Tec engines are light, durable and easy to maintain. Invest in a new E-Tec engine and you can expect to enjoy 300 hours or three years of normal recreational use before having to make your first scheduled oil change. During this time, your Evinrude engine will use up to 75% less oil than typical two-stroke engines in the same class. What’s more, Evinrude E-TEC engines feature an exclusive low-friction design that further reduces maintenance costs by eliminating moving parts such as belts, chains, powerhead gears, cams and mechanised oil pumps.

Not only are E-Tec engines easy to maintain, they’re also easy on the environment. Thanks primarily to their precision design, E-Tec engines emit no smoke whether they’re idling or accelerating towards the top their RPM range. That’s because E-Tec technology injects fuel twice as quickly as conventional direct-injection engines and unburned fuel never gets to the exhaust port. Instead, the fuel charge is confined to the combustion chamber where it’s converted into pure power.

On the strength of its outstanding environmental credentials, the California Air Resource Board recently awarded the E-Tec range a three-star ranking under its rigorous certification system. Among other environmental benefits, this means that an Evinrude E-Tec engine produces 65% fewer harmful emissions than engines that hold a one-star ranking.

If it’s power and performance that you’re after, then investing in a new Evinrude outboard motor engine is one of the smartest moves you could make. The E-Tec’s lightweight design maximises performance and handling, while its large displacement boosts horsepower and torque. The winning combination of less weight and more torque means your new Evinrude outboard engine accelerates faster and hits higher top speeds than any other outboard engine in its specification range.

At the same time, Evinrude E-Tecs are highly fuel-efficient, especially at low speeds. As you accelerate, the Engine Management Module (EMM) – the engine’s brain - delivers precisely the right amount of fuel directly into the combustion chamber according to the onboard load that you’re carrying and the weather conditions you are boating in.

The EMM is an outstanding example of Evinrude’s talent for innovation, a defining feature of every Evinrude engine. Capable of performing up to 8 million calculations per second, the EMM makes it possible to start an E-Tec within a single revolution.

Not only are Evinrude motors built to perform, they also combine great looks with maximum usability. With its swept-back profile, the E-Tec range incorporates distinctive styling with a three-dimensional beltline and self-aligning hood that is easily removed. This unique design element adds to the motor’s ease of use, and the encased upper cowling dampens engine noise, making for a quiet ride.

Incorporating the brand’s proven two-stroke direct-injection engine technology, the pioneering E-Tec range showcases Evinrude’s best qualities to maximum effect. While sharing the strengths that make all Evinrude engines such outstanding buys, each member of the E-Tec range offers you its own distinctive qualities.

Low on emissions and low on maintenance, the E40EDPL is ideal for recreational enthusiasts and weekend anglers. Celebrated for its reliability, the E115DPL is a supremely user-friendly outboard that offers maximum stability at idling speeds and full-on exhilaration once you throttle back. But for sheer adrenaline, you can’t beat the E200DPL. With its snappy torque, this engine’s formidable powers of acceleration make it ideal for water sports such as skiing and tubing while its stable design makes it perfect for cruising.

Whether you’re looking for a reliable weekender, a championship performer or a combination of both, Evinrude manufactures an outboard engine to meet your needs. With a reputation for reliability and innovation, Evinrude has been first choice among professional and amateur boaters for over a century.
