[Huey]

Hi, last week I was at a meeting at BRP here in Sydney and got to see (photos only) and get some specs on this new great little outboard. For those guys wanting a 25HP/30HP you should put the E-TEC on the top of your wish list. The weight is the lightest in class and combined with the biggest cubic capacity in the class it will sure live upto the E-TEC reputation as strong performers and in the "clean" market I doubt there will be anything that can match it.

The tiller is all new with many cool features like a troll control button to adjust RPM and a set-up allowing different positions and angles to suit most boats.

We should start seeing here by late this year form what was told, which means you guys over there shoudl see a bit earlier and I for one can not wait to run one.

Cheers,

Huey.

News Release 5-27-08



BRP commemorates 100-years of Evinrude

® outboard engine

innovation with the introduction of new Evinrude E-TEC® 2009 centennial model year engines.

The all new 25- and 30-horsepower Evinrude E-TEC outboard engines also feature an all new
anniversary year graphic design, and will be available at Evinrude dealerships worldwide for the
2009 model year.
“We're extremely pleased to make this product introduction during our celebration of 100 years
of life on the water with Evinrude,” says Roch Lambert, vice president and general manager,
Outboard Marine Engines, BRP. “Evinrude outboard power began with engineering ingenuity
and BRP is continuing it today with E-TEC technology in new 25- and 30-horsepower engines,"
he continues. "We have broadened our engine family to make the Evinrude E-TEC product
advantages available to more boating applications and allow a greater opportunity for boaters
everywhere to spend more time on the water."
The new two-cylinder engines offer the highest fuel efficiency, lightest weight, and most power
in their competitive engine class. The engine technology and superior results are proven with
five years of E-TEC technology success and a rigorous testing program. With a 35.3 cubic inch
(576 cc) displacement and 142-pound weight, boaters will enjoy the advantages of quick
acceleration, high power and low fuel consumption these new lower horsepower engines
provide to them. Ergonomically designed for easy operation, the new 25- and 30-horsepower
engines feature a more compact and integrated pull handle that locks in place; standard
electronic adjustable idle speed control; and a trim and tilt switch that is located at the end of the
twist grip that can be operated without moving your hand. The sleek, compact design includes a
folding tiller handle for convenient carrying and storage. The tiller handle also incorporates a
unique “touch troll” button, which acts like a cruise control to allow boaters easy adjustment and
maintain optimal trolling speed. Boaters can rely on the high 15 amps of net output for

additional power to operate onboard electronics. Each model, regardless of configuration,
includes a rope starter.
“These new outboard engines fill a vital product segment in key markets worldwide,” added
Chris Dawson, vice president and general manager, BRP International. “With the launch of the
new 25- and 30-hp models, as well as the 250HO and 300-hp models released earlier this year,
we are delivering on our promise to expand the line above and below the current offering. All
these new models are expected to bring great enthusiasm from our worldwide dealer network,”
stated Dawson.
The new engines feature the same E-TEC technology that provides superior benefits found
throughout the line.
·

No maintenance including three years or 300 hours of no dealer-scheduled

maintenance; a three-year non-declining warranty; no oil filters and no oil

changes; no belts or chains to adjust or replace; and no valve or throttle linkage
adjustments required. These benefits give E-TEC owners significant savings in
maintenance costs. E-TEC engines are so well-engineered and precision-built
that no break-in period is required.
·

Clean and quiet performance minimizes impact on our environment with

extremely low carbon monoxide emission at idle; CARB 3-star rated, EPA and

EU compliant; low particulate matter emissions; no crankcase oil to dispose of;
and exceptionally quiet operation.
·

Durable and reliable through reliable design and parts including a new multipoint

oiling system; NASA-developed alloy pistons; 100-percent power and

emissions testing; oversized, robust gearcase; and same proven E-TEC family
design.
·

Best-in-class power and performance with more displacement; up to 40-

percent more torque; superior hole shot; faster top speed; and excellent fuel

economy – up to 15% better than competitive 4-stroke engines in this
horsepower class.

I'm suprised they are not promoting their new state of the art engine plant.

.

[bworner]

im wondering if they are leaving that out cause it's in china???? the cool thing that my BRP guys tell me is that BRP has the only manufacturing plant in china with air conditioning, and has private homes for the workers for the 5 day work week, then they go home on the weekends....supposedly BRP is regarded as family there cause of the treatment of the workers, thats a very good PR thing, i as a salesperson was not that excited about the foriegn end of it, but with Everyone else doing it and having less expensive labor expenses it had to be done, cool thing is the motors are still regarded as american cause they are assembled and put together here, the parts are made other places though, similar to your Dodge,Chevy, Ford truck, or Mercury Optimax or other outboard, or opposite of Toyota...

[zinger]

Any pics of the 25/30hp E-TEC now that the 115hp HO is here?

[mercmack]

me too, looking for some photos..the sale rep that was in the other day didnt have any himself..

[theoldwizard]

At 142 lbs, the E-TEC 25 hp significantly out weights the Honda 20 hp (101 lbs), the Yamaha 20 hp (114 lbs) and the Mercury 20 hp (115 lbs), but none of those engines are EFI or have 15 amp charging.

[Markus]

cool thing is the motors are still regarded as american cause they are assembled and put together here, the parts are made other places though, similar to your Dodge,Chevy, Ford truck, or Mercury Optimax or other outboard, or opposite of Toyota...

Toyota assembles (and puts together ) hundreds of thousands of vehicles in the US every year, including that Toyota pickup truck you used to own...

[bworner]

they sure to, using foriegn parts, the point was that some companies customers think if they buy something that is based out of the midwest that it is pure american, we knowledable people know differently,
