E-TEC 135 H.O.


Brief Summary

Evinrude’s E-TEC 150 H.O. outboard has been a staple of the company’s lineup of workhorse engines for years. So it was a natural progression to simply reprogram -- aka "de-tune" -- the engine’s onboard computer to stop its maximum output at 135-hp. And thus, the 135 H.O. was born and it gave boaters a new mid-size 2-stroke power choice with an the excellent power-to-weight ratio. Evinrude claims its Evinrude E-TEC 135 H.O. is actually “best in class” -- something we can't dispute since the only other one on the market has 3% less displacement, is 14% heavier, delivers 61% fewer Amps and has nearly 200 more parts.
