Evinrude engineers tackled the problem using a two-pronged attack. and a 140 hp version.Īn inherent problem in a motor with an odd number of cylinders is vibration, so I was a little surprised when I started the new E-TEC G2 150 on a Stingray 212SC deckboat and didn’t notice it shaking more than any other four-cylinder 150 I’ve tested. This same engine platform is available as a 115 H.O. It’s lighter than the next lightest 150 - a Mercury - by 60 pounds. Whacking three cylinders dropped the weight of the new E-TEC G2 150 by 99 pounds, to 397 pounds, making it the first 150 to weigh less than 400 pounds. But instead of going along with the I-4 crowd, Evinrude transformed its 150 into a three-cylinder motor with a 1.9L block. On the plus side, it had plenty of snap six pistons, however, made it one of the heaviest at 496 pounds. All other 150s were based on inline four-cylinder platforms Evinrude’s was a V-6 with a large 2.7L block it shared with the 175 and 200 hp models. When Evinrude’s E-TEC G2 150 HP direct-injected two-stroke debuted in 2016, it was an outlier in the marine industry.
When Evinrude set out to revamp its V-6 E-TEC G2 150, its designers did way more than just tweak it.
