2018 Evinrude E-TEC 75 HP E75DPGL Outboard Motor

The 2018 Evinrude E75DPGL puts 75 HP through a three-cylinder E-TEC finished in graphite, steering remotely by way of a tiller accessory, a lighter block than stepping up to a V4.

Specifications behind this engine

Bore and stroke measure 91 by 66 millimeters on this direct-injection three-cylinder, matching others in the family, geared at 2.00:1 and reaching a 5,000-to-5,500 RPM top end. Weighed dry, this engine comes to 320 pounds, a figure shared with other members of this three-cylinder family.

What to check before ordering

Because the tiller accessory operates the steering remotely rather than by handlebar grip, plan console or side-mount rigging into your build. Trac-1 power trim and tilt opens a trim window of -4 to 17 degrees, with tilt able to swing to 75 degrees. The alternator is rated 81 amps total, with 25 net dedicated to your own electronics, worth weighing against any fishfinder or pump you plan to add.
