In 1921 he and Bessie formed the ELTO Outboard Motor Company (ELTO standing for Evinrude's Light Twin Outboard). His inventive mind kept busy, however, and during his 'retirement', he devised a much-improved, two-cylinder outboard engine. Д«ecause of Bessie's poor health, the Evinrudes sold their company in 1913, and Ole agreed to not re-enter the outboard motor business for five years. The firm immediately began to develop its first outboard motor, a one-cylinder, 1.5В hp (1.1В kW) model, which became an instant success upon its introduction in 1909. In 1907, Evinrude founded Evinrude Motors in Milwaukee. Of course, the ice cream was melted by the time he returned, but Evinrude, inspired by the incident, was determined to design an engine that would replace the oar as a means of boat propulsion.Д¬ary and Evinrude were married in 1906. Cary expressed a desire for a dish of ice cream and Evinrude rowed back to shore for it. The story surrounding Evinrude's invention of the outboard boat engine revolves around a picnic that Cary and Evinrude enjoyed on Okauchee Lake, in the lake country west of Milwaukee, two and one-half miles from shore. While Evinrude concentrated on the mechanical and engineering aspects of the new firm, he entrusted the bookkeeping and business end of the firm to his assistant, Bessie Cary. Interested in mechanics from an early age, Evinrude became an apprentice machinist at age 16 and eventually a master pattern maker, as well.ДЄlong with a growing number of people at the turn of the century, Ole Evinrude was fascinated by the potential of the newly developed internal combustion engine, and he set up a firm to build small engines. Ole Evinrude was born in GjГёvik, Norway on Apfive years later, his family emigrated to the United States, settling near Cambridge, Wisconsin. ДЄll modern Evinrude motors were built and assembled in Sturtevant, Wisconsin, south of Milwaukee.ДЎ979 Evinrude 70 HP outboard, cowling and air silencer removed, exposing its shift/ throttle/ spark advance linkages, flywheel, and three carburetors Evinrude E-TEC was the first outboard engine technology to win the US Environmental Protection Agency's 2004 Clean Air Excellence Award which recognizes low emission levels. This is due in part to a pin-point oiling system that only applies oil to the necessary components, unlike the original two-stroke motors. This improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, oil consumption, noise levels and maintenance needs. In 2001, Bombardier acquired the Evinrude and Johnson Outboards brands the FICHT technology was reengineered into E-TEC direct injection. The losses on these motors, the loss of reputation and the surge of competition from Japan and Mercury pushed the company into bankruptcy in 2000. This eventually resulted in a recall of that generation of motors. These modifications were not carefully engineered or designed and caused significant engine failures, most notably the powerhead failure. At the beginning, the company tried retrofitting the previous design in order to bring the motors up to the new standards. Initial production of the first design started prior to another round of EPA regulations. Extensive and thorough durability testing took place to assess the rigor and longevity of the design but the first design did not pass testing standards. OMC partnered with FICHT of Germany to introduce direct injection. They used carburetors until the late 1990s when EPA clean air regulations mandated new technologies.

The iboats Forum Directory can likely help you find a lot of outboard information as it is arranged by subject. The iboats Outboard Motor Forums are another excellent source of information.

Be sure to do your testing under your normal boating conditions and with a good propeller (not bent, cracked, or excessively chipped). You want your RPM's to be within the proper range while at wide open throttle (WOT). For example, if you look at your tachometer at top speed and it is not within the engine's RPM range then that is generally not good. Your engine's RPM range is important in choosing the right propeller for a given application. This model has a electric starter and power steering. The bore width is 3.11' and the stroke length is 3.50'. This outboard engine weighs approximately 386 pounds. This 2001, 115 hp Mercury is made for saltwater.
