​A.C.T., Inc. Moving Forward

DURING EVENTS OF 2020 - 2022

First, our sorrow to anyone who has been personally dealing with the devastating impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Thankfully, the staff and production team of A.C.T. have been spared and continue to practice health and safety measures recommended by NIH.  Additionally, no one has been furloughed. 

At A.C.T., 2020 began with the robust performance of the company's last three years.  ​However, the pandemic led to a significant change at BRP, manufacturer of the Evinrude E-TEC outboard 
and to new product directions for A.C.T., Inc. 

​Be assured that all Pump Jet components will continue
to be MADE IN AMERICA. 
 

​
​      The A.C.T., Inc. company is 45 Years Strong     1977 - 2022
​

It is a privilege to serve the military and first responder community with Pump Jet Technology.  Please feel free to contact me with any concerns or questions.

                                                         Continued Success, John Martino

IN PROGRESS
Presently, we have completed the evaluation phase of endurance testing for two new outboard models * : Tohatsu & Mercury - 30hp 4 strokes
These two models are technically similar to each other.  In addition, both are slightly lighter than the Evinrude E-TEC 2 stroke base with a Pump Jet.

The Honda 50 hp is now available.  Additionally, work has started with Honda 30’s to develop an initial prototype * for endurance testing and future production. 
​
Completion of the 40 hp 4 stroke Tohatsu & Mercury is out for evaluation and should be complete soon.​

HOW HAS A.C.T. CHANGED AS A RESULT OF LIMITED EVINRUDE INVENTORY?
A.C.T. has been able to adapt all of the Pump Jet performance attributes to new outboards.  See PRODUCTS.  The modification change made for mounting to the gearcase has improved strength and still allows standard manufacturer's service and repair as needed.

CURRENTLY, A.C.T. IS:
  • Offering new motors and or gearcases modified with Pump Jet propulsion, in addition to transom caps, solid stringer sets and repairs.
  • Accepting orders for any Evinrude motor or gearcase available for Pump Jet modification:  New & Used 25/30/40/50/55/60  Will continue as normal and as needed.​
  • Continuing to support repair services included in the MANUFACTURER'S TIER WARRANTY for new and existing RescuePro and Enforcer units.​​

JULY 2020


WHAT HAPPENED TO EVINRUDE AT BRP?
The impact of COVID-19 disrupted the supply chain of parts to BRP from China.  This disruption has proven to have a greater impact on Evinrude motors than anticipated.  On May 27, 2020, with no advance notice to anyone, BRP ordered discontinuation of production of Evinrude E-TEC product.
HOW WILL A.C.T. CHANGE AS A RESULT OF LIMITED EVINRUDE INVENTORY?​
Since the May 2020 announcement from BRP, we have had many inquires from customers and dealers regarding "what now?"  With the necessary strategic planning ongoing, we are moving forward and have been able to reduce the impact on the company.  This includes opening new inroads for adapting the Pump Jet to additional outboard manufacturers.

CURRENTLY, A.C.T. IS:
  • Accepting orders for any Evinrude motors available for pump jet modification:  New & Used 25/30/40/50/55/60  Will continue as normal and as needed.
  • Receiving orders at a reduced level (approx 50%) and making deliveries on time.
  • Continuing to support repair services included in the MANUFACTURER'S TIER WARRANTY for existing RescuePro and Enforcer units.
