If it's about air quality, then DFI would have to be exempted.

Personally, I don't think the aggregate number of 2 stroke outboards is
sufficiant to make a significant contribution to air pollution. While I'd
agree they are a lot dirtier than comparable 4 cycles, there just aren't
enough of them running to impact anything real.

Most people are under the impression that a 4-stroke is cleaner, but a DFI,
such as a late model Evinrude, has fewer total emissions than a late model
EFI 4-stroke. The great thing about DFI is that its emission output stays
fairly steady throughout the life of the motor.

Could that be because the 4-stroke lasts so much longer? Sorry,
couldn't resist.
