Are 2 stroke outboard motor engines for boats going to be outlawed?

Answer

In California, all 2 stroke outboard motors that do not meet ISO 9000 emission standards of at least 3 stars are outlawed. So far, only the new line of outboards from Evinrude, called the E-TEC series, meet the standard. It is likely that this type of law will expand to other states, and also that other manufacturers will develop new models that will be in compliance with the standard. Evinrude has accomplished this feat with a computer controlled, direct fuel injected engine that does not mix the lubricating oil with the gas. The motor is very clean burning due to precise fuel injection, and doesn't smoke because the lubricating oil does not enter the combustion chambers.
