ENGINE EMISSIONS INFORMATION
Manufacturer’s Responsibility
Beginning with 1999 model year engines, manufac-
turers  of marine  engines  must determine the ex-
haust emission levels for each engine horsepower
family  and  certify  these  engines  with  the  United
States of America Environmental Protection Agen-
cy (EPA). An emissions control information label,
showing emission levels and engine specifications,
must be placed on each engine at the time of man-
ufacture.
