Evinrude E15HPSX E-TEC Outboard Motor

This used Evinrude E15HPSX is rigged the opposite way from a console motor: tiller steering and a rope pull are the standard setup, with remote steering and electric start listed only as conversions over that base. It is also a lighter configuration than the remote-steered 15 HP motors in this range.

Who a tiller-first 15 HP suits

If hand steering and throttling at the motor suits you better than running cables to a console, this configuration drops in without extra rigging, and the lighter weight helps on a smaller transom. Trim is manual rather than powered, which keeps the number of moving parts down on a motor you plan to tilt by hand at the stern, something worth weighing against the convenience a powered tilt offers.

Weight and fit

This unit comes in at 154 lbs (70 kg) and rides on a 20 in shaft; check that figure against your boat before ordering, since steering and starting here differ from some siblings in this class.

Check the lower unit oil for a milky look, which can signal a worn seal; clean oil is a good sign on any used outboard.

Bring a factory parts diagram or ask us for one before ordering parts later; model-specific diagrams make tracking down the right gasket or seal far easier than guessing from a generic listing.

Can this be rigged for remote steering later? Yes, remote steering and electric start are both listed as available conversions.

Is it a new outboard? No, the E15HPSX is sold used.
