Big win for Gustaf Lindén and Evinrude E-TEC in Forby, Finland today.
“The grass is greener on the other side”.. is not always true.
The Evinrude E-TEC 115H.O. have dominated the UIM Offshore 3B the last couple of years.
This is a production stock outboard.
When you use the engine on a light cat and a very big propeller, the standard gear case with an aftermarket water pick up is installed can give you problems.
Some drivers was upset with gear case issues and many of them switched to a different brand this year..
Well..guess what..!!!
After a tough two days racing and a superb driving style of Gustaf Lindén the Evinrude E-TEC won again..
Congratulations to both the driver and co-pilot Lina Thorén

Missade medalj efter motorkrångel

3/3
En retsam fjärdeplats efter motorkrångel.
Veronica Olderin och Kristina Coleman hade inte marginalerna med sig under EM i offshoreracing i helgen.
– Vi är inte riktigt nöjda, säger Veronica Olderin.
I helgen tävlade Kristina Coleman, 24, och Veronica Olderin, 26, i EM i offshoreracing. Sportbladet har tidigare skrivit om att tjejerna siktade på pallplats i båtsporten, men marginalerna var inte riktigt på svenskarnas sida under tävlingen.
– I första racet låg vi jättebra till, men så började motorn strula och då tappade vi, berättar Veronica Olderin.
Motorkrånglet berodde på tre värmelarm, som gjorde att motorn stängde ned sig i tomgångskörning för avkylning.
Trots detta lyckades Olderin och Coleman köra in sig på en femteplats, 30 sekunder efter ettan.
– Det är vi ändå väldigt nöjda med, säger de.
Slutade fyra
Andra racet, på söndagen, gick däremot desto bättre. Tjejerna körde in som tvåa, fem sekunder efter vinnaren.
– Det var ösregn och blåste 9-12 sekundmeter. Vi gillar när det är lite stökigt väder, då måste man koncentrera sig mer och det handlar inte bara om vem som har snabbast båt, säger Olderin.
Poängen från femteplatsen och andraplatsen slogs ihop och tjejerna missade precis att kvala in på pallen.
– Vi är inte riktigt nöjda, men vi gjorde vårt bästa. Andra racet var riktigt bra och nu ser vi fram emot VM i september, säger Olderin.
Men redan på torsdag är det dags för nästa tävling. Då åker team Olderin till Oskarshamn för säsongens första SM-tävling.
– Enligt väderleksrapporten ser det ut som att det kommer blåsa på rätt bra, så nu längtar vi dit, säger Veronica Olderin.
A very nice F1-V8 statue outside the main entry at the BRP´s Evinrude factory.
This picture is from the Evinrude Outboard factory Sturtevant, Wisconsin.
I am one of very few that has raced the Evinrude F1-V8 engine.
(1983, 1984 and 1985)
This bronze statue is the 1985 model with 6 inch midsection and fuel injection.
Still the only UIM F1 2 stroke V8 racing outboard ever built.

The new Evinrude power of the future..2015 E-TEC G2.
I am back home after a fun weekend in Milwaukee with BRP and Evinrude.
Being an Ambassador for Evinrude is a great honor. (The first production outboard ever built 1909)
A short review of the weekend.
The BRP management asked for a new aggressive design so you can tell it is an Evinrude outboard from long distance.
The engineering department went back in the Evinrude history book and looked at the successful racing rotary.
You can see many similarities here..
Well..I remember the rotary racing engine from Paris 6 hours.
The racing boat #03 above is from Paris 1974.
I was part of that race.
Here is a link to the race in Galveston, TX
Round two to the rotaries – first major win for OMC at Galveston Classic 1973

The G2 is extremely powerful. A completely new cylinder block with a way better exhaust.
I did see the new block but was not allowed to take pictures.
EPA approved to 2020 standard and the cleanest outboard on the market.
A very easy and quick installation is now possible. The power steering is built in the midsection.
New gear case and much more.
A mix of G2 pictures and a video.

Successful outboard racing/sales and loyalty pays off.
I am so grateful that BRP has picked me to be one of five Evinrude Ambassadors.
We all know that Ole Evinrude started the first outboard production 1909..but this is not about history..it is about the future and the new line of Evinrude Outboards being
introduced in Milwaukee, Wisconsin June 13 2014.
The world is going to be there to see and test drive the new powerful outboards.
My lovely wife Carina and I are really looking forward to get started with a new chapter in our life..

BRP Evinrude announces five T.E.C. Ambassadors to represent the Evinrude brand for a one year contract.
After reading through the more than 70 applications for this T.E.C. Ambassadorship Contest, the Evinrude Brand Marketing was tasked with choosing the top three ambassadors to be the next T.E.C. Ambassadors. Submissions for this contest were well thought out, heartfelt, and showed the true spirit of what a dedicated Evinrude owner is. Because there were so many well deserving Evinrude enthusiasts that applied for this contest, the Evinrude Brand Marketing team decided to pick five loyal Evinrude owners instead of only three.
The contestants were tasked with providing reasons why they would be the next best brand ambassador for the Evinrude Brand. By proving their dedication, loyalty and enthusiasm towards their favorite outboard engine brand, these contestants will help to promote the Evinrude brand through word of mouth and social media. They will all be attending the exciting Club Evinrude event June 13th – June 15th 2014 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where they will be treated like VIPs. Throughout their year as a T.E.C. Ambassador, these Evinrude owners will get to meet several Evinrude executives, travel to plenty of Evinrude sponsored events throughout the country, and have a prominent voice on Evinrude’s social media platforms.
We’d like to thank everyone who applied to the contest and gave such compelling stories through their applications and showed to our team how much being an Evinrude owner means to them. It’s with great pleasure that we announce these five gentlemen as our new 2014 T.E.C. Ambassadors:
