Our outboard engines business has been greatly impacted by COVID-19, obliging us to discontinue production of our outboard motors immediately. This business segment had already been facing some challenges and the impact from the current context has forced our hand,” said José Boisjoli, President and CEO of BRP. “We will concentrate our efforts on new and innovative technologies and on the development of our boat companies, where we continue to see a lot of potential to transform the on-water experience for consumers,” he added.
Discontinuing outboard engine business and signing an agreement with Mercury Marine
Following our decision to discontinue E-TEC and E-TEC G2 outboard engines, we have signed an agreement with market leader Mercury Marine to support boat packages and continue to supply outboard engines to our boat brands.

Didn’t E for the E-TECS stand for Extra Expensive?
There should be an E for everything boating and fishing related items. E-boat,Etrailer, Efishing rod Ereel and so on. I read this this morning, also read there coming out with all Electric Outboards, and a new diesel outboard is hitting the market as well. I guess it's not a bad thing, since electricity and water have always interacted so well together forever??? Right ???

Electric Outboard? Evinrude has been in boating for a longtime. Weird they are just now doing electric. That’s old technology. Diesel sounds cool. Electric is cool if they come up with an ultra efficient type. I keep thinking of putting solar cells on my other boat that has a weak transom and use electric motors. Gas back up. No stink no smoke just sun. Panels will block sun and rain off passengers. E definitely stands for Expensive. My hunting Rifle is an E Stainless type. Scope is nice but it’s an E type. Food is all E type now.

This is terribly sad. My son and I were just scouting for a twin engine hull that we could re power with some E Tecs.
