The; Evinrude” V-4 engine
was introduced in 1958 as a_
low-profile, high horsepower
alternative to the towering
in-line engines of the day.

Today, after more than 20 -
.years.of designing and’
refining, our V-4 engine is
more than ever the standard
by which high performance
engines should be measured.

‘The Lower the Better

Every V-4 has a low profile
design. The powerhead
extends only 18 inches above
the transom...nearly ten

inches lower than some com-
petitive motors of similar
horsepower.

Evinrude V-4's have a low
centre of gravity for easy,
stable handling and are down
out of the way of a ski tow
rope or fishing cast.

Proven 90° _
V-Engine Design
Evinrude V-4’s and V-6's are
built around a full 90° design
(most.automotive V-engines
are 90°) which allows more.
space between the two cylin-
der banks for efficient exhaust
tuning and less vibration.

Built for Power

Evinrude’s Firepower * III
electronic ignition (4 hp up)
delivers a quick, long-lasting
spark for fast, dependable
starting.

New lower unit design
provides better high speed
stability and better bite’ on

acceleration.
