2018 Evinrude E-TEC 60 H.O. E60HGL Outboard Motor

The 2018 Evinrude E60HGL is a High Output, three-cylinder 60 HP E-TEC finished in graphite, with the starter electric and steering routed remotely through a tiller accessory on the console.

What a High Output tune means here

The inline three-cylinder, direct-injection block measures 3.601 by 2.588 inches across bore and stroke for 1295 cc, spinning to a 5,000-to-5,500 RPM ceiling on a 2.36:1 gear set. Dry weight is 320 pounds. Tuning for extra speed and torque at this horsepower is what the High Output designation covers.

Rigging, trim, and power supply

Plan for console or side-mount controls rather than a direct tiller handle, since the tiller accessory here operates remotely. Trac-1 power trim and tilt opens a -4 to 17 degree trim window, with tilt reaching 75 degrees. Twenty-five of the alternator's 81 total amps are net dedicated, and the oil tank holds 2.4 gallons, enough for a season of running between refills on most boats.

New, under warranty

This engine is new, runs on unleaded fuel drawn from that tank through Evinrude/Johnson XD-100 oil, and comes with a 3-year, non-declining warranty from Evinrude covering the powerhead.

How does it start? Electric only, with no rope-pull option listed. What's the dry weight? 320 pounds. What's the shaft length? 20 inches.
