In 1907, Evinrude Motors was founded in Milwaukee, WI, by Norwegian immigrant Ole Evinrude. The first Evinrude engine to be produced was a 1.5 HP one-cylinder engine that entered into production in 1909. In 1921, Evinrude established a new company, ELTO (Evinrude’s Light Twin Outboard) Motor Company which featured his newly designed and enhanced two cylinder Evinrude outboard engine.
Now
Over a hundred years later, Evinrude is now a subsidiary of Bombardier Recreational Products (Sea-Doo, Ski-Doo) of Valcourt, QC, and remains as one of the top selling marine engine manufacturers. Today Evinrude outboard engines are manufactured in Sturtevant, Wisconsin, and China.
