Evinrude G2
« on: February 05, 2020, 08:57:37 PM »
Looking at Evinrude G2 for a 1972 22-2. Anyone have first hand performance stats for the 3 cylinders, 115, 140 and 150?
Thanks in advance.

'Rude offers 2 different 150 Etec G2 models - the 3 cylinder and the V6.  The 3 cylinder is a 1.9L and the V6 is a 2.7L - and both make the same power at the shaft?   :s_laugh:

Getting 150HP with decent torque out of 1.9L is a challenge!  But it would be easy with the 2.7L in a V6.  I think you would find a 22-2 underpowered with the 3 cylinder G2, but the V6 would work very well on that boat.  There's just no replacement for displacement.   :2Cents: 

BTW - Suzuki gets 200HP out of 4 cylinders on their 4-stroke DF200A, but with a displacement of 2.8L.  That's a big 4 cylinder and big bores make big torque.  Mercury ain't making 2-strokes any more, but their 150s now are all 3.0L.  The discontinued 2-stoke Optimax 150 was a 2.5L V6.  You may be able to find a new 150 Opti still at a dealer at a very good price and there are lots of used and rebuilds out there as well.  Any of these would seem a good choice for a 22-2.

Roger. Looking for the best compromise between weight and power. Mooring is tidal so less weight means more time fishing, and apparently I don't need to go over 40 mph but I would like to get right up to that.
