Yep two stroke exhaust has been coming out in the water for some time now. Have not seen anybody lose a arm or a leg or grow a second head from catching a feed at the rear of there two stroke powered watercraft.
I appeal to anybody championing the cause of any changes to paste any evidence here. I will start

I read in an earlier post about somebody getting a gobful of two stroke smoke like it were some typical or justifiable reason, i call BS. Perhaps that particular o/board in question could have been in need of some attention to deal with that issue ie an over oiling injection system or even perhaps a pre mix owner overdoing things on the ratio front. Just as i see 4 cycle engines spew smoke i am not silly enough to think they are all like that.
I hear what you are saying Noel regarding things getting twisted on here, I have probably added to that confusion but i am just pointing out IMO there is no need to make any changes to 2 stoke powered outboards new old or indifferent, Injected or old school carbie.
The world is going flipp'n batshit crazy over crap like this and generally it is driven and supported be people who cite the benefits to the environment but at the first hint of an increase in other parts of there life to deal with the environment they can't scream blue murder loud enough or quick enough.
I look forward to my next feed caught from my two stroke powered boat. I wonder if i will make it through the night without suffering some 2 stroke inflicted gastrointestinal disease LOL.
