OUR EVINRUDE CUSTOMERS

We are proud to have supplied you with outboard engines over the past 110 years. For business reasons, we have made the difficult and thoughtful decision to discontinue manufacturing of our outboard engines to focus on the next generation of propulsion.

You can obtain Evinrude parts and accessories from your authorized dealer, or using our online store.

Even so, the fact is that taking a good, well built, but aging and clapped out older boat and restoring it can be the most cost effective way to get yourself into a good quality boat that you would not otherwise be able to afford.

Evinrude Reinforces Commitment to Honor Factory-Backed Coverage on Evinrude E-Tec and E-Tec G2 Engines. Evinrude reinforced their commitment to customers that the company will continue to support its E-TEC and E-TEC G2 engine customers well into the future.

The latest models include some of the lowest emission and highest power-to-weight ratios on the market today. In a comparison test between the top 115hp outboard motors, Popular Mechanics found Evinrude to be the most economical 2-stroke engine fuel-wise.

The company only made two-stroke engines. The four-stroke engine was cleaner, and with emissions regulations mounting, Evinrude tried various ways to compete. Its last two-stroke E-TEC engines used direct-injection technology, making them as clean as four-strokes.

Yamaha had the highest index score among 2-stroke outboard engines, J.D. Power stated.

The best outboard for saltwater, therefore, will have a few tricks up its sleeve to help you avoid corrosion and to prolong your investment. This is why we believe Mercury Marine outboards are the best for saltwater use!

The Evinrude is known for running cleanly and more efficiently. That means over time, you'll get more bang for your buck while traveling long distances. Of course, your fuel efficiency is most influenced by you, the boat owner. If you keep even speeds in waters of lower-resistance, you will use less fuel.

Deciding whether to fix up an old, tired engine best comes down to cost and how much enjoyment you hope to experience. If working on mechanical marvels floats your boat, you can save some dollars and have some fun working the Lazarus magic. But we must think again if it risks lives at sea with a dodgy rebuilt engine.

Replacing your old engine with a new one is a phenomenal way to maximize your boat's overall performance. Generally, repowering a boat improves the power-to-weight ratio (making your boat easier to handle), maximizes speed and power, and offers a more enjoyable boating experience overall.

Rebuilding your current engine of the same size might cost about $2500 or so — or about a third of the cost of a new engine. Buying a rebuilt engine, backed by a reputable dealer of course, would split that difference, or about $3000 to $4000. That difference will buy a lot of gas, so consider carefully.

Thus, it is advisable to replace the impeller regularly as it is inexpensive insurance. You should also inspect the pump housing, which can be replaced on many motors if it has been scored by abrasive sand.
