BRP pull the pin

[cobby]

Evinrude outboards are no longer. BRP are ceasing production of Evinrude Etec outboards which leaves Tohatsu as the only direct injection 2 stroke manufacturer after Mercury pulled their Optimax lines in favour of their newer 2.1L, 3L, 3.4L and 4.6L four strokes. Now all BRP owned boat brands (Quintrex, Stacer and Savage in Australia) will be factory packaged with Mercury outboards.

Seem like they are Blaming the Covid19 pandemic as the reason to shut shop.

did it have anything to do with the ban of 2 strokes i wonder?

Provided the motor passed emissions it was not banned.

Etecs meet emissions requirements.

I think the lack of popularity was due to the poor power delivery and a belief that they were unreliable.

I thought the importation of 2 stroke motors are banned from 30th of June 2020
And sales (of new ones) banned in 12 months time

An announcement has been made by the Department of Environment and Energy that the Minister for Environment, The Hon Melissa Price MP, has amended the Product Emissions Standards Rules 2017 and extended the commencement of the supply offence by 12 months to 01 July 2020. This change will allow retailers an additional 12 months to sell remaining uncertified products such as two stroke outboard engines and PWC’s.

That didn't apply to etecs as their emissions are almost as good as four strokes.
