2 stroke, what lakes?

[annex138]

Can anyone tell me what lakes around here allow 2 strokes and what lakes do not? Thanks

Only two lakes I know of restrict the Two Strokes..

DVL, which is currently closed to private boats..
And Skinner.....
Both drinking water lakes with higher quality rules...

Most of the rest allow any motor...
Almost all have web sites so you can check also....

DVL,skinner,corona,and big bear don't allow 2strokes.....

Is it all 2 strokes or just the ones without the EPA sticker?

[BassinPLS]

DVL 7 Skinner allows 2 stroke engines, if they were made after, (I believe the year is), 2000.

They have to have the high pressure fuel injection system; which burns less oil.

big bear

WHAT!! When did that happen????

[Fastfish]

Since when on Big Bear seems to me that is incorrect besides that alittle 2-stroke motor is the smallest of there issues up there when it comes to water quality.

Better recheck your info on Big Bear,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, been using my 2 stroke there the past 17 years. Last time it was on the water was Thanksgiving weekend.

I have a 2-stroke and can go on any lake. Depends on the star rating you have.

call Skinner. i think they must comply with EPA standards for some year that they set. basically no carbuerators, must be electronic fuel injection. i'd rather have a newer 2 stroke that complies than a heavy honkin 4 stroke. any motor made in the last five years should be fine actually.

You can use your Two Stroke motor at Irvine Lake .

Engine Requirements.
To be allowed onto the reservoirs, you’ll need the cleaner burning models that comply with California Air Resources Board emission standards for model year 2001 or later (or the equivalent 2006 standard set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)
With the exception of personal watercraft, all four-cycle engines (regardless of year) are allowed on DVL and Lake Skinner.
If your engine is model year 2001 or later , and made by the following major marine engine manufacturers , it should comply:


Johnson and Evinrude.
Honda Motor Corp.
Yamaha Motor Corp.
Suzuki Motor Corp.
Tohatsu Corp.
Mercury Marine.
Nissan Marine.

If you are still not sure look for the stars New technology engines (model year 2001 and later) have a one-to-three star decal showing they comply with emission standards. Or check for the label EPA-certified engines from 1998 to 2000 display an Emission Control Information label that shows it complies with 2001 (or later) California emission regulations for spark-ignition marine engines.
For supporting details, check the owner's manual or the manufacturer's Web site.
What about pre-1998 engines?
Pre-1998 two-cycle engines that use carburetors or electronic fuel injection (EFI) technology, will not comply with the combustion engine requirements for use on DVL or Lake Skinner.

Hey, you are asking the wrong question anyway.
The question is which lake can you put your boat on?
Not Casitas, or Cachuma, Shurewood?
P-stone, Castic (AKA Skunk Lake), the Vine, Pirate lake, Piru, Perris,

That's a short list.
