Outboard pollution

[vjb]

I don't know if this is important to you, but I think that certain lakes (like Lake Tahoo) ban all 2 stroke carburated outboards. This might be a growing trend.

Re: Outboard pollution

i think decarbing an outboard should not be allowed in lakes or bays.<br /><br />but i know it is easyer to do than on the hose in the driveway and the neighbours calling the firedepartment.<br /><br />but if you love your waters you shouldnt doe that.<br /><br />reeldutch<br /><br />i love my outboard

Doesn't make much difference to me.<br /><br />There are environmentally friendlier TC-W3 oils out there. 'Course blowby is the real trouble. But then again, 2-strokes don't have the NOx emission problems that 4-strokes do.<br /><br />The problem with banning any manufactured good is that the banned one has to be disposed of and the new one has to be built. That's where a good amount pollution comes from.
