If you're looking for quiet, smooth operation with superior fuel efficiency and extremely low emissions levels, the Nissan four-stroke is the answer. Even running wide open, these motors typically use less than one-half gallon of fuel per hour. They meet all EPA standards for 2008 and boast thermostatically controlled cooling systems. For your small boat or kicker motor needs, it's tough to find an outboard that competes with the performance, power and reliability of Nissan marine. All Nissan outboards are equipped with premium, heavy-duty crankshafts, bearings, connecting rods and pistons. Nissan's five-layer corrosion protection - successive layers of zinc chromate primer and a durable enamel finish that inhibits corrosion in the harshest marine conditions - now includes clearcoat. Standard CD electronic ignition gives lightning-fast starts. Through-the-prop exhaust system makes them quiet running, while the corrosion- resistant stainless steel water pump housing ensures clean, even cycling. All models 4hp and above include forward, neutral and reverse gears, easy-to-control tiller handles, and aluminum propellers.
