Diesel Scrappage Scheme For Boats?

I thought Evinrude e-tec were still 2 stroke but fuel injected in such a way as there is no pre-mix and the oil and petrol come together in the injector. They claim that their engines are cleaner than four strokes. However they are a little large for Broads use. They are also offering 10 years warranty until end of June.

I stand corrected, their technology goes down to 25hp. Certainly no oil changes, filter changes and 300 hour service intevals sounds very attractive.

Another issue is we cannot compare a relatively small number of boats out in the open to thousands of deisel vehicles confined in a city. In the town or city there is no place for the smoke to go and plenty of people in close proximity.
