Just got a dvd showing the new E-Tec engines from Evenirude. These are two stroke engines, burn cleaner than many four strokes, weight substantially less, have more torque than most four strokes, are cheaper than four strokes, requires less maintainence, are cheaper to maintain, require no oil mixing and are more fuel efficient than many four strokes. Some US government agencies (including Lake Tahoe pollution control), are repowering with these... Incredible engines. A marine dealer her in Flag has sold over 60 (40hp to 150hp) to the US Government since December 10. Stu, can I add a link to the dvd once I download it?

"You should also know E-TEC's electrical system is founded upon a lightning hot magneto that fires the ignition coils and also powers the fuel injectors and oil pump. In other words, the engine is not reliant upon a battery that might have died during winter storage."
