Default I didn't know Evinrude made a Wankel outboard?

Prototyped it into a racing engine, and was blowing Mercury away.


It's a shame they didn't have the time and finances to really develop
it.

Well I think somebody did put it into production in small 10 h.
models, but i wonder why it never caught on? and went the way of the
NSU and Mazda?

Even Yamaha and Suzuki tried them in motorcycles and they dropped as
soon as they were introduced, it seems.


For awhile I had an Arctic Cat snowmobile with a Wankel in it. Torque
out the ass but slow getting wound up!
