A Welcome Donation

The American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) has partnered with Bombardier Recreation Products (BRP) to donate a 90-horsepower Evinrude outboard motor to the West & Rhode Riverkeeper. “We’re thrilled and honored to have been selected for this donation,” said Riverkeeper Jeff Holland. “Our old 50-horsepower outboard died last season. With this new motor, we’re once again able to conduct water quality monitoring with our corps of citizen-scientist volunteers.” Technicians at the Rhode River Marina in Edgewater installed the new outboard on the organization’s 18-foot center-console runabout. Marina owner Brian Conner donated the cost of the installation.
