    this new technology was re-launched as E-TEC Direct Injection Technology. Interestingly, the name E-TEC is not an acronym for anything. It's simply the name chosen for this revolutionary method of 2-stroke direct fuel injection.

    I don't know anything about decisions that were made but the inline 3 is a cool engine, a 115 that can turn a 23 pitch prop and still jumps out of the hole, it is an impressive engine.

    If only we didn’t have to put oil in them
    In all seriousness, from the 25hp tiller on a 16’ Jon boat to the 225 on my bass boat, I think the performance characteristics of them were something special. RIP...gone but not forgotten, just shows you that you can screw up a good thing.
