Evinrude E-TEC G2 Test Drive

[biodot]

Wonder if there a concern with leaks into the side panels of the engine when you come to a hard stop shown at 1:09?  Heard the side panels attach via quarter turn fasteners.

[roamer]

Can't wait for the G2s to make it down to the In-lines. When they do it'll be time to upgrade my 2004 E-TEC 90. Way to go BRP!!!

I owned a Evinrude E-TEC, by far the best outboard motor there is. easy start every time, very smooth running, the best fuel economy, lots of power, I would not own anything else. If you are a person that has owned a few different outboard motors give a E-Tec a try you will be glad you did.

[MasterWitchDoctor]

MY GOD that thing sounded like a 6-71 Detroit Diesel at idle

[damnyalltakeallnames]

If Evinrude gave all yall one straigh from the factory, and told you that it is yours. I bet you all would think twice about the sh$t that yall said. Bet yall thought the samething when laptop and touchscreen came out.

Get over the looks (it's different, ok we got that, so was the horseless carriage) and take a real good look at the engineering and the factors that make it completely unique. It is very compelling to consider when re-powering. Fuel efficiency, torque, anti corrosive properties, all blow any other engine out of the water. 5 years, 500 hours? Get real people. Performance is what you want, this has it.

[SigOhSig]

This thing looks badass. It's time to move away from the standard shape all motors are conforming to lately.

[tigesinaus]

Sits very low in the water, probably more the hull design? 

[Stevo-xejw]

Every new design is gonna receive criticism, no matter what it's for. However, I know for a fact that the Etec outboard is the only outboard in the world that can be run inside an enclosed show room floor in the state of California. There isn't a 4 stroke that can claim this. That's how clean these things run. Plus I don't see 4 strokes offering 5 yrs. or 500 hours with no maintenance. Etecs can also be winterized and summerized at the dock by the owner. No can do with a 4 stroke. To each their own. If you're a Mercury or Yamaha fan, there is no need for you to watch this video. Personally I like it.

[zeus-iohn]

honestly it's the best engine out there whatever & who say so.
i use to own a yamaha, than merc now i own a used evinrude(evil) 225hp.
there is no better 4stroke n 2stroke i know can compare to this mean evil.
the down side, need to spent more money on oil but so much less on maintenance. 
honestly i spent thousands on both my ex 4stroke after 2yrs yrs.
2stroke has much drag power compare to 4stroke.
fuel consumptions both are no diff at all. thirsty like hell.
evinrude has the vry lo consumption on idling compare to my yamaha.
just wish the G2 comes to my country cheap.
my ex merc(8yrs) i can only hit about 56km/h. with my 225hp etec(8yrs) i hit 68km/h top. 
boat 23' striper(1'400kg).

peace n out

[stevesorensen]

what's up with the vacuum cleaner hose????

[federicoluzzi]

what is the top speed of the boat and the aprox. weight?

[BoeingRules]

Why the need for a 250 hp on a bass boat, are you that much in a rush?

[Achap]

It's not an entirely new shape, it looks similar to the old "tower or power" mercury outboards of the 80s and 90s. 

[MrCaptainDietrich]

hi is Evinrude E-TEC G2 good engines bc ather videos says agen Evinrude E-TEC G2 is bad engines and i dont know what to be leve and what engine to buy

[heyttsguy]

Is that the "Hyper Silver" panel color?

[coolaceaj]

Other people hate the looks I actually really like it

[stevemosley]

I have a 70 horse Yamaha 1996 outboard motor okay it will crank and run fine as long as you don't give it no gas but when you try to give it all the gas it dies okay to run like the wind if you just put the choke down just a little bit and then let it go in and out running and then and keep writing and I can you put it in neutral again and do the same thing about going again any help would be greatly appreciated

[Lelbek]

Hey! Thats my big brother! Well, im not as lucky as him because i am not sold yet :(

[snoov]

The thing looks like it's straight out of the Jetsons.
