Boat Scene Cairns - New boats and used boats, outboards, trailers, campers, fishing and more

If you have been keeping up to date with trends in outboards over the last few years it can’t have escaped your attention that four-strokes have taken over as the major players in the middle to upper horse power range. They are quieter, cleaner and more fuel efficient than the old generation two strokes – the engines of the future. Or at least they were until E-Tecs came along.

Lighter, more powerful, cleaner and more fuel efficient, the new E-Tecs from Evinrude take on the four strokes and beat them at their own game.

In the automotive world, racing has been responsible for the development of several products which have filtered down to the average car on the street and made a huge difference in terms of safety and performance. Think of disc brakes, tyres that actually grip the tarmac and roll cages as just three examples of race derived technology applied to everyday vehicles. And so it is with outboards. Racing undoubtedly improves the breed and in the E-Tec range the power and torque that set a world speed record is available to everyone. If you want an engine which will astonish you with its power and performance then take a really good look at the ETec range.

The company slogan is short and to the point: “Drive it like you stole it!” Straight out of the crate they are ready to go. There’s no tedious running in period with an E-Tec. You can just go hard from the word go. If you want stunning performance to blow the competition away, you’ve found it.

Evinrude E-Tecs get you out of the hole quicker, have faster throttle response, faster top end speeds and better fuel economy than all the others. It’s due in part to their computer based electronic engine management which ensures total fuel burn and lower emissions, and in no small measure to their significantly lighter weight. (Try a 30 kilo advantage over some competitors’ comparable 90HP models!) Fewer moving parts mean fewer problems and easier maintenance, and they comply with any emissions standards anywhere in the world.

If their performance alone isn’t enough to convince you to have a look then consider their servicing. You don’t need to do anything to them for 3 years or 300 hours. There’s no oil to change and no gearcase to lube. Just hose off the salt and plan your next trip.

The range covers everything from in-line 2 and 3 cylinder models, through 60 degree V4s and V6s, right up to 90 degree V6s. From 40HP to the mighty 300HP beast, there’s a motor to suit your boat. And they all come with a full three year non-declining warranty. That’s 1095 days of total peace of mind. If you’re in the market for a new outboard come and have a good look at the E-Tec range and be amazed. Forget everything you thought you knew about two-strokes and see for yourself just how far they have come.
