Evinrude is done now. Bit of a shame. Ive been running mine for about 14 years . Only one problem...the emm blew about 3 years ago. No other issues, so its been reliable.

Used to be OMC but wow we had 2 70 VROs and they lasted for years and we use them daily for years and years that's MADE IN USA now BRP they died out, I WOULD LOVE TO USE A MADE IN USA PRODUCT because that is money in another Americans pocket everytime it starts, I miss old school MADE IN USA 🇺🇸 products because they used to care for them, you see the pride in the products made so they are built to outlast your lifetime I miss that.

I was so looking forward to buying my 1st evinrude! Gutted.

I have a Larson Bowrider powered with a 150 etec and it is absolutely awesome

2 stroke for life.

Evinrude should have kept the 2 stroke and also offered 4 strokes sucks to see them go

When BRP took over OMC they had Suzuki make 4 stroke outboards which were sold under the Johnson name. They were only sold for 5 years before being discontinued. Keep in mind that the entire sales pitch of Evinrude was that they were two strokes.

I have been an OMC owner since 1970. Very sad to see them go

Omc sold evinrude to brp in 2005 im pretty sure

I've got a 89 black max and wouldnt swap for anything, but sad to see evinrude go. Im sure someone will buy the nameplate, but it wont be the same.

I think if they redesigned the etec to improve reliability and durability they will have a very good product to offer.

Bullet proof don't think so

Has anyone heard of an issue with the threads of the pump being bad right from the factory, am told they were overtightened and now not usuable. A dealer who is doing the 3 year warranty maintenance check advised me of this. Evinrude (2019) H.O. 150 HP.

Wish thay go back to making them

Hope it back in 4 stroke Evinrude G4.

EVINRUD TOP

Compare with the 150 optimax

rip e tec

Guess that’s why evinrude out of business

They probably had to work on the engine After this video

Evinrude now is shoting down.... Who is the big winner??

They went so they went broke

1. You dont need to ruin a perfectly fine Mercury motor... 2. I don't doubt that a 2-stroke has a better torque than a 4-stroke, but usually US advertise is not to be trusted. A third party test would be much better. 3. The dumbest thing that has happened in the engine world the last decade is shutting down Evinrude. These motors where on the top 3 worldwide. Such a shame.

Well that's not Fair Evinrude competing a 2 stroke Evinrude VS a 4 stroke Mercury 150 it should be 2 stroke vs 2 stroke not 4 stroke vs 2 stroke that's WRONG.

you missed the whole point didnt you? Merc CLAIMES their 4 stroke had 2 stroke power, torque etc. How about the fact that etec was also quieter, better fuel econ0omy and better emissions? 4 stroke shoulda won all of that yet did not.

spitting oil on every revolution

EVINRUDE Obsolete by the times. Mercury is the winner.

If OMC still owned Evinrude, I'd still see made in USA 🇺🇸 not made in Canada and they would still be in business today, EVINRUDE is supposed to be a USA product but since the Canadians started making them they lost value in the US market thus death of Evinrude 🤧

Evinrude couldn’t compete with Mercury and Yamaha 4 strokes. 2-Strokes were cool in their day but those days are gone. The new 4 strokes are awesome.

Use just the optimax and evinrude is gone

2 stroke is lighter no valve train..

It's none sense the way you talk about 2 trokes vs 4 strokes related to horse powers output

It hits max hp 2000 rpms earlyer the mercury Maybe cuz it has lessen hp

will never buy 2stroke

With all the advertisement and bragging and all their love for their 2 strokes, evinrude is still out of business. Hey should have measured fuel mileage. 4 strokes beat 2 strokes every time.

For the same horsepower = 2 strokes or 4 strokes still produce the same horsepower = but 2 strokes consume more gas = 2 strokes has lower efficiency than 4 strokes

Advertising your product by unfair comparisons with other manufacturers and attacking them directly played a part in your downfall. No one disrespects well established competitors and expects people to buy your products. Whether weak/powerful or reliable/unreliable, etecs were doomed from the beginning.
