Your Evinrude E-TEC outboard has a special environmental label required by the California Air Resources Board. The
label has one, two, three, or four stars. A hangtag, provided with your outboard, describes the meaning of the star rating
system.

Protects consumer for worry free operation.
One Star – Low Emission
The one-star label identifies Personal Watercraft, Outboard, Sterndrive and Inboard engines that meet the Air Resource
Board's Personal Watercraft and Outboard marine engine 2001 exhaust emission standards. Engines meeting these
standards have 75% lower emissions than conventional carbureted two-stroke engines. These engines are equivalent to
the U.S. EPA's 2006 standards for marine engines.
Two Stars – Very Low Emission
The two-star label identifies Personal Watercraft, Outboard, Sterndrive and Inboard 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.
Three Stars – Ultra Low Emission
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 exhaust emission standards.
Engines meeting these standards have 65% lower emissions than One Star – Low Emission engines.

The four-star label identifies engines that meet the Air Resources Board's Sterndrive and Inboard marine engine 2009
exhaust emission standards. Personal Watercraft and Outboard marine engines may also comply with these standards.
