Evinrude Outboard Motor E15TEG4 15 HP

This used Evinrude E15TEG4 is a 15-hp, two-cylinder portable outboard on a 15-inch shaft, with tiller steering, electric start, and electric trim rather than a manual lever.

Engine specifics

Total displacement comes to 21.41 cubic inches, this engine climbs to a 5,000-6,000 rpm top end, and the primary gear ratio runs 2.15:1. Fuel delivery is carbureted. On electric-start models like this one, the charging setup is rated at 12 volts, 145 watts, and 12 amps, enough to run the trim motor and keep a small battery charged through a day out.

Fit and weight

At 120 lbs on a 15-inch shaft, double-check that length suits your transom before ordering. Controls here are mechanical, trim runs on an electric actuator rather than by hand, and starting is electric rather than rope-pull.

Where a 15-hp portable fits in

This size commonly serves as a primary motor for a small aluminum or inflatable boat, or as a kicker for trolling on a larger rig, where electric start and electric trim add real convenience over a bare-bones rope-start portable of similar output and weight.

Is this rope or electric start? Electric start.

What's the shaft length? 15 inches.

Is the tilt manual or electric? Electric, controlled by the same 12-volt, 145-watt charging system fitted to this engine.
