Evinrude E15RGL4 Outboard Motor

This used Evinrude E15RGL4 is the simplest motor of its class here: a carbureted two-cylinder rather than a direct-injection E-TEC, with manual starting, tiller steering, and manual trim. At 117 lbs (53 kg) it is also the lightest 15 HP motor in this lineup.

What simpler means in practice

A fast-idle choke is built in to make cold starts easier without extra steps, the fuel tank is integral to the motor rather than a separate line running to a remote tank, and the propeller is a flow-through design meant to run quietly. Because starting is by rope rather than electric, there is no battery or wiring to maintain for that function, and the carbureted fuel system has no injectors to service either.

Options and specifications

A front-mount shift lever, a shallow-water drive, and power tilt are all listed as optional upgrades over this motor's standard manual tilt and mechanical controls; confirm with us which, if any, are fitted to this particular unit. The carbureted block measures 2.4 in (61 mm) across the bore and 2.36 in (60 mm) on the stroke, for 21.41 cu in (351 cc), geared 2.15:1, with a 5000-6000 RPM throttle range. The shaft is 20 in (508 mm).

Does it have electric start? No, starting is manual rope-pull on this motor.

Is this engine new? No, the E15RGL4 is used.
