The E-Tech engines have not made the EPA 2007 regs.

 

Evinrude E-TEC outboards are designed to comply with 2007 EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) as well as tough 2007 EU (European Union) standards . E-TEC even meets the ultra-low 2008 CARB (California Air Resource Board) 3-Star emissions rating which are stricter than 2008 Federal EPA standards.

 

The truth is that the "old technology" E-techs are not only out performing every newly designed comparable four stroke engine in the marine world in performance , weight and in total emissions but are outselling them too.

 

Watch Yamahas engine line up in 08' Hint hint.

As far as I know, at least two of the larger displacement engines are sitting in a test cell in Detroit madly trying to meet EPA 07 standards, but they haven't yet.

 

I guess I am bit of a disadvantage as I have no idea what the 3-Star Emissions rating is. The only time I have ever heard of it has been inreference to Evinrude's E-Tech stuff. It kind of seems like somethng conjurred by their marketing department. :confused:
