Evinrude E15HPGX Outboard Motor

This used Evinrude E15HPGX is a 15 HP, two-cylinder E-TEC outboard rigged for a console boat rather than a tiller skiff: steering is remote, starting works from a key or a rope pull, and trim comes from a high-speed power tilt rather than a hand lever.

Why the rigging suits a console

Remote steering puts the wheel at the helm instead of the motor, and having electric start backed by a rope pull means a low battery does not strand you at the ramp. Power tilt lets you raise and lower the motor without leaving the seat, which matters more as a boat gets heavier or more crowded with gear. Before ordering, check that your existing helm, control cables, and wiring are set up for a remote-steered, power-tilt motor rather than a tiller unit, since retrofitting that rigging later adds cost.

Fit and dimensions

At 181 lbs (82 kg), the shaft measures 20 in (508 mm); measure your transom before you commit to that length. Controls throughout are mechanical rather than electronic, which keeps troubleshooting straightforward if something ever needs attention.

Ask about a compression check on a used two-stroke like this one; healthy numbers across cylinders say more about remaining life than hours alone.

Can I steer this from a tiller handle instead? A tiller conversion is listed as available, though the motor ships remote-steered.

Is this a new motor? No, this E15HPGX is sold used, so ask about hours and condition before ordering.
