"Evinrude ETEC has been awarded a three star rating from the toughest emission standard in the world—the California Air Resources Board and was also the first outboard to receive the EPA’s Clean Air Technology Excellence Award. No other brand of outboards produces fewer reportable emissions than the Evinrude E-TEC family."
"According to the US EPA and California Air Resources Board certification database, Evinrude E-TEC ranks among the lowest total regulated emissions for hydrocarbons plus oxides of nitrogen (HC+NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO). Evinrude E-TEC also won the prestigious EPA Clean Air Excellence Award and was the only gasoline outboard engine to win this award. In addition, Evinrude E-TEC G2 emits up to 75% fewer total regulated emissions than comparable four-stroke outboards making it the cleanest outboard engine in the industry."
Outboard Motor Shop in Oakland sells the full line of ETEC motors if you want one. In Jets they are currently advertising the 135/105, the 90/60 and the 55/40. Inland Marine in Antioch CA also sells the full line of ETEC motors.
