2021 NEW PUMP JET
PRODUCT LINES 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. Watch for future announcements on the website HOME and PRODUCT pages.* Design Patent |

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.

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.
