BRP has released the next generation of Evinrude E-TEC G2 models with horsepower ranging from 150-200hp, the E-TEC G2 150hp, 150hp H.O., 175hp and 200hp.
Boaters can rejoice as the release of the mid-range models opens up the power of Evinrude outboards to a wider variety of budgets and transoms. The new Evinrude E-TEC G2 models deliver up to 30 percent more torque, up to 15 percent better fuel efficiency and up to 75 percent fewer total regulated emissions compared to leading four-stroke outboard engines.
Evinrude offers the cleanest outboard engine combustion technology available and not only complies with but exceeds the new Australian non-road spark ignition engine emissions legislation. Evinrude national sales manager Jason Draeger said after the success of the 200hp H.O. to 300hp models launched in 2014, he is expecting to see exceptional orders on the new models.
“The features in the next generation of G2s are above and beyond other outboards on the market,” Jason said.
“We are excited to offer this revolutionary design to a new range of customers and boats. “Whether you enjoy fishing, power sports or just cruising, you will be impressed with the power and efficiency of the new range of G2s.
“Having Telwater as the Australian distributor of Evinrude outboards has allowed us to take Evinrude to the next level and we don’t plan to stop here.” True to Evinrude’s style, the new models will also feature a distinctive, customisable look that allows consumers to perfectly match their boat.
Available with integrated Dynamic Power Steering and i-Trim, Evinrude’s intelligent trim system, and standard with Digital Shift & Throttle, the new G2 models deliver confident handling and optimal performance at any speed and in any conditions.
Incorporating steering mechanisms into the mid-section of the engines also simplifies rigging for a cleaner transom. A 20” TRAC+ midsection on the 150hp models with i-Trim is also available for boaters who want a lighter package without integrated power steering.
With no required break-in period and featuring standard push-button automatic winterisation, the E-TEC G2 product line is one of the easiest engines to own and is covered by Telwater’s 3 + 2 year warranty. The new G2 engines are available to buy in Australia from Evinrude’s extensive dealer network.
E-TEC 60hp H.O.
In addition to the new G2 engine line-up, Evinrude also expanded the 2017 product year line by introducing two 60hp H.O. models available in 20” and 25” configurations. These models offer consumers best-in-class performance in the 60hp category and are a perfect fit for most applications where additional performance is desired, including aluminium, fibreglass and pontoon boats.
