Clean Marine Engines

New England Clean Marine Engine Initiative
Protecting New England waters by promoting the use of low-pollution marine engines

Low-pollution marine engines deliver improved performance and help protect our waters by reducing emissions and using less fuel and oil. EPA New England is working with our partners to encourage the purchase and use of low-pollution marine engines. Our partners include:

• "EPA's voluntary clean-marine initiative will have long-term environmental and fuel-saving benefits during the entire 20 plus years that these clean engines remain in use. The clean engines sold over the past few years will greatly reduce air, water and noise pollution around New England's beautiful lakes and waterways, while allowing greater fuel efficiency for boaters." said Robert W. Varney, regional administrator of EPA's New England office.

  Participating retailers
• New England and New York environmental agencies
• New England and New York state marine trade associations
• Marine Retailers Association of America
• National Marine Manufacturers Association
• EPA Region 2

For contact information about our partners

Low-pollution marine engines are available for sale from retailers throughout New England. If you’re in the market for a new outboard motor or a personal watercraft (PWC), consider buying a low-polluting four stroke or a direct fuel injection two-stroke marine engine.
