This business segment had already been facing some challenges and the impact from the current context has forced our hand,” said José Boisjoli, president and CEO of BRP. “Our outboard engines business has been greatly impacted by COVID-19, obliging us to discontinue production of our outboard motors immediately. We remain committed to our Buy, Build, Transform Marine strategy which has been underway since 2018 with the acquisition of Alumacraft and Manitou boat companies in the U.S., followed by the acquisition of Australian boat manufacturer Telwater in 2019. Our Sturtevant, WI, facility, will be repurposed for new projects to pursue our plan to provide consumers with an unparalleled experience on the water. We will discontinue production of Evinrude E-TEC and E-TEC G2 outboard engines. Ski-Doo riders should expect to see the same high commitment to E-TEC innovation moving forward.”īRP (TSX: DOO NASDAQ: DOOO) announced today it has re-oriented its marine business by focusing on the growth of its boat brands with new technology and innovative marine products. “E-TEC is an excellent technology that delivers high performance and durability in even the harshest of conditions. “This decision has no impact on our E-TEC engines for Ski-Doo snowmobiles,” Cowing stated. In a reply to an email from Snow Goer, Ski-Doo PR and media relations manager Steve Cowing reiterated BRP’s dedication to E-TEC technology in its sleds. Still, with its success in snow, there’s no reason to think that BRP would move away from E-TEC in snowmobiles, and that was backed up by Ski-Doo officials. However, its acceptance has been notably lower in the outboard marine market, where four-stroke engines have gained a stronger foothold and winning-back customers with a clean-burning two-stroke has proved to be a bigger challenge. The impact of the clean-burning, smooth-running, efficient technology on the snowmobile market has been huge – allowing Ski-Doo to approach 50 percent marketshare and really prove to regulators that two-strokes engines can meet stringent emissions standards. Johnson was dropped in 2007.Į-TEC technology first appeared in a snowmobile in January 2008 in an early-release 2009 MX Z TNT 600 H.O. BRP had acquired the Evinrude and Johnson brands three years earlier out of the wreckage of former parent company Outboard Marine Corporation’s (OMC) bankruptcy. Evinrude engines currently range in horsepower from 3.5 to 300.
In fact, the E-TEC technology was first unveiled on an outboard engine in February of 2003 at the Miami Boat Show, which we attended on behalf of our sister publication, Boating Industry magazine, which offers more insight on this week’s news here. The two-stroke outboard engines use the same sort of E-TEC direct-injection technology that has been found in Ski-Doo two-stroke snowmobiles for the past dozen years. Carolina Skiff 24 foot Ultra Elite w/ 250 H.O., Evinrude His old brand of boat cavitated quite often "no tunnel" and he has never experienced the shut down yet.Ski-Doo’s parent company Bombardier Recreational Production (BRP) shocked the marine market this week, announcing that it is discontinuing its Evinrude E-TEC and E-TEC G2 outboard marine engine lineup to shift its marine focus entirely to boat making. There is a guide that is having a 23ft Super Sport Drifter built with a 200+ HP ETEC on it with a tiller,he has run the ETEC engines since they came out with no issues so far. They have several customers using this engine with no complaints so far.

The cavitation tale only applies if the engine is at full throttle when this happens, so if you are hopping the gravel bars remember to throttle back before you pump some gravel if you don't have a tunnel. They also said you could blend oil if you were low as long as it was a good quality TCW 3 oil, not the Safeway stuff. This has cured the oil sensor issues they said.
What would happen with the heaver oil was when the oil was cold the engine could not draw enough oil to supply the system so the sensor thought it was out of oil so it would shut down, go into limp mode.

You can program the ECU, to calibrate it, so it knows how to regulate the oil use. He recommended here in AK to start off with this. Here is what I was told, the cold weather use was fine as long as you use the proper oil,the thinnest Evinrude offers 100 weight " I hope this is the right #". The ETEC tec rep went to Wooldridge Boats to give them a run through on this engine a few days ago.
