I'd have to go the Honda, assuming all are 4 strokes, but I'd suspect with modern engines, they would all be similar.

Just a bump for those who want to read

I spose Honda really push the green image a bit. They are finally however just replacing the carburetted 75/90 and are yet to replace the carbed 40/50 so from a green perspective of a 4 stroke point of view I think the Suzi's 4 strokes and even Yamies 4 strokers are a touch ahead. They do still however produce and sell 2 strokes which puts Honda ahead in that respect I spose.

A 2 stroke be it DI or standard has got to use oil no matter what. Even at a ridiculously low 7.2 L per 100 hours as used for 200 Etec (claimed), that's still 7 or so litres that the 4 stroke didn't put directly into the environment.

That's just the way I see it anyway

Kopey,

the emission tests are what is actually put into the atmosphere oil or no oil, these are not calculations they are tests.

Hi

Global warming has officially started as of last week. John Howard said so.

So shouldn't CO2 emmissions be considered also. Are all outboards of a given capacity about the same?

Whichway.

Whichway, construction has a lot to do with emissions. Some manufacturers are ahead of others with there technology in reducing emissions. if your talking a capacity of four strokes #or DFI 2 strokes then yes there is not a lot of difference but you need to keep them in there own categories as it does differ alot from say a carby 2 stroke to a carby 4 stroke.

My silver one is pretty clean, so is the grey one and so is the black tower of power (it's bloody hard to keep clean and shiney though...bloody salt spray >).

Just use a bit of Septone drifter gelcoat restorer, brush on area and rinse. That gets it off.
