the U.S. EPA's 2006 standards for marine engines.
The two-star label identifies engines that meet the Air Resources Board's
Personal Watercraft and Outboard marine engine 2004 exhaust emission
standards. Engines meeting these standards have 20% lower emissions than
One Star-Low Emission engines.
The three-star label identifies engines that meet the Air Resources Board's
Personal Watercraft and Outboard marine engine 2008 exhaust emission
standards or the Sterndrive and Inboard marine engine 2003-2008 exhaust
emission standards. Engines meeting these standards have 65% lower
