Evinrude E-TEC G2

BRP (Bombardier Recreational Products) has partnered with Piranha Ribs, based in Hampshire, UK to debut the new E-TEC G2 Evinrude outboard engine product line-up. According to BRP the new G2 boasts increased performance and fuel efficiency for both commercial and recreational users.

Evinrude's ETEC system allows a 2-stroke motor that competes with 4-strokes on emissions

At the range’s recent debut at London Boat Show, a choice of models from the Evinrude range from 25-250HP were hooked up to a selection of RIBs built by Piranha Ribs.

Vince Winyard, director at Piranha Ribs, said, “The quality of the design and performance of the Evinrude brand is second to none, especially with the arrival of the new E-TEC G2 to the range. This partnership is beneficial for both us and BRP, as it will allow us to use the highest quality engines on our ribs and showcase them to commercial and recreational users at the show.”

The Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboard engine produces up to 75 per cent fewer total regulated emissions, with 15 per cent better fuel efficiency and 20 per cent more torque than leading four-stroke engines, according to BRP’s figures.
