Reeds are one way valves controlling the amount of air/fuel mixture enter-

ing the crankcase of your outboard engine, then sealing it in order to prevent it from
escaping. Every two cycle outboard has them. But, the stock reeds in your outboard
have a single-stage design that limits their efficiency. That's why stock outboards
often cough and sputter at idle, fail to deliver a good hole shot, feel boggy or lifeless
under throttle application, burn too much fuel or lack top end punch. Plus, standard
reeds are made of metal. Should one break, it could cause extensive damage to your
outboard.

Boyesen Power Reeds are different... and better! They feature a patented

dual-stage design allowing our reeds to respond instantly to any change in air/fuel
flow as you accelerate or back off the throttle. The result? A dramatic increase in
efficiency and performance across the entire power band, from start-up to flat out!
