"a The standards apply to marine spark-ignition outboard, personal watercraft, and jet-boat engines only. There are currently no federal standards for marine spark-ignition sterndrive/inboard engines (previously proposed standards have not been finalized). Marine compression-ignition engines under 50 hp are covered under the proposed nonroad compression-ignition engine standards. Federal standards are in development for marine compression-ignition engines over 50 hp. ",,,,,,
b P = the average power of the engine family in kilowatts (sales-weighted). ,,,,,,
"c As an example, the standards for an outboard engine of 125 hp (just over 93 kW) would be 149.53 g/kWh in 1998, 123.63 g/kWh in 2000, 97.74 g/kWh in 2002, 72.00 g/kWh in 2004, and 46.10 g/kWh in 2006. ",,,,,,
d All emissions standards must be met for the useful life of the engine.,,,,,,
"e The standards for personal watercraft did not go into effect until 1999, although the standard went into effect for outboard engines in 1998. ",,,,,,
