2018 Evinrude E-TEC 90 HP E90DPGL Graphite Outboard Motor

The 2018 Evinrude E90DPGL brings 90 HP out of the same three-cylinder E-TEC used lower in this family, graphite-finished, steering by way of a tiller accessory operated remotely from the console.

What 90 HP looks like in this block

A bore of 3.601 inches and a stroke of 2.588 inches give this three-cylinder direct-injection engine its displacement, geared here at 2.00:1, with the tachometer sweeping between 5,000 and 5,500 RPM. Dry weight, like its 75 HP sibling, comes to 320 pounds.

Rigging this calls for

Since the tiller accessory handles steering remotely rather than through a handlebar grip, plan on console or side-mount controls for this build. Trim moves across -4 to 17 degrees courtesy of Trac-1 power trim and tilt, and a separate tilt range opens to 75 degrees.

Power and warranty

The alternator here delivers 81 amps total, with 25 of those net dedicated for a fishfinder or similar accessory, and its 2.4-gallon tank runs Evinrude/Johnson XD-100 oil. This E90DPGL is new, finished in graphite, runs on unleaded fuel, with its powerhead backed by a 3-year, non-declining Evinrude warranty from the date of purchase.

What color does this engine come in? Graphite. How long is the shaft? 20 inches, standard for this family. Is starting electric? Yes, with no rope-pull option listed.
