What went wrong with Evinrude?
Evinrude wasn’t in the 300 HP + space and that hurt them. They didn’t have the same dealer network that Mercury or Yamaha did and didn’t own as many transoms, making it tough out of the gate. On the surface, the mistakes I think they made are that they had too many engines overlapping.

Is the Yamaha Evinrude ETEC 200 Ho any good?
I had owned several Yamahas before my current Evinrude Etec 200 HO. I never thought I’d ever say this, but I like my Evinrude more than any Yamaha I’ve owned (carb, efi, HPDI, 4-stroke). It’s nearly as quiet as the bigger Yamaha 4-strokes I’ve owned, better on gas and oil than the HPDI, and better on gas than the 4-stroke.
