New Evinrude E-TEC G2 Three-cylinder Engines
Posted: Mon Jun 10, 2019 11:06 am
Evinrude has introduced a new line of E-TEC second generation or G2 engines based on a 1.865-liter three-cylinder in-line block of new design. This new E-TEC G2 three-cylinder will be offered in models with horsepower designations of 115 High-Ouput, 140-HP, and 150-HP. These new three-cylinder models will use electronic shift and throttle Evinrude ICON II EST remote controls. Having electronic shift and throttle control in a 115-HP engine is a new option, not available on any other brand's 115-HP engine. A special side-mount EST control is also introduced.
These new three-cylinder E-TEC G2 engines use the innovative G2 engine mounting with integral hydraulic steering and improved rigging, and they can also be ordered with the integral electric power-boast steering option. Some models will be available with tiller steering.
Several boating reviewers who have actually seen and used the these new G2 three-cylinder engines have commented that the engine noise is reduced compared to earlier E-TEC engines, although no measured data is provided.
Engine weight is still unknown. And, as always, the MSRP is not clearly mentioned.
Evinrude also announced that all E-TEC G2 engines will now be available with a choice or white or slate gray engine frames. I think the all-white versions will be a hit.
