Elpto?

Might be a bit of a stupid question but what does ELPTO stand for with outboard engine.

I'm assuming they are 2 stroke and something like HPDI or Optimax??

Thanks

It stands for something along the lines of ELectric Power Trim and Oil injection.

So it's not as exciting as HDPI!

Its power trim and oil injection. (as per most/all biggish two strokes). Not Optimax, Ficht/DFI or HPDI as the manugacturers tend to shout that out lound as it means "whizzy fuel injection system that we can charge you a pile more cash for

!)

Could be wrong, but i think there is one more variable:

E - electric start
L - long shaft
PT - Power trim
O - Oil injection / autolube whatever you wanna call it

I think that JK is right about this one.
