Actually my friend enforcing this law is much easer than one might think

When the state is ready to start implementing this law state wide they will not renew any boats with out for stroke motors. For now the state of California is enforcing this law on certain lakes one being Lake Tahoe.

Lake Tahoe has restricted the use of any 2 stroke motors.

The 4 stroke moters are slowly replacing 2 stroke boat motors by a federal mandate to the industry to clean up the environment. I am seeing 4 stroke motors on the shelves here in Michigan where 2 strokes once stood. it is just a matter of time before all the 2 cycle motors will be fazed out and you will not be able to buy 2 cycle oil that is specifically made for boat motors and the parts needed for those motors will no longer be available.

You may want to consider changing over on your own

To do so will reduce the dumping of lead and mercury and other toxic contaminates that are directly pumped in to the water by the exhaust of the motors.

As for me I use a ore and paddle where ever possible
