Nissan Marine Outboards has announced that it
will add a 20hp four-stroke to the line in 2008, replacing the
18 hp.
Nissan Marine’s first 20 hp four-stroke outboard
will be sold under the Nissan Marine brand. This will give the
company an outboard halfway in horsepower between its 15 and 25
hp four-strokes.
Kurt Gardner, Nissan Marine’s National Sales
Manager, said: “Our focus is to continue to introduce products
that are among the most competitive and affordable on the
market. We believe that replacing the 18hp with a 20hp is a good
step in achieving this.”
The new 20 will
have a CD ignition system especially designed for immediate
starting in all sea and weather conditions, as well as the many
other features the 18hp currently offers including low oil
pressure warning (visual and audible) and decompression device
for ease of manual starts. The new engine will also offer the
same ease of operation and excellent fuel economy all Nissan
Marine outboards are known for. Production is set to begin in
January of 2008.
Nissan outboards from 2-30 hp are four-strokes
and those from 40-115 are 2-stroke direct injection models using
Nissan Marine’s proprietary TLDI® system.
All Nissan
4-stroke
& TLDI
models come with a 3-year limited warranty.
