Evinrude E6RGL4 6HP Outboard Motor

This used Evinrude E6RGL4 is a 6-hp portable outboard built around a single-cylinder, carbureted engine, with a tiller handle, rope start, and manual tilt.

Engine basics

Total displacement here is a compact 7.5 cubic inches, this small motor spins up to 5,000-6,000 rpm at full throttle, and the primary gearing is set at 2.15:1. Fuel delivery is carbureted rather than injected, which keeps it simple to service away from a shop with basic hand tools.

Weight and options

At 57 lbs on a 20-inch shaft, this engine is light enough to carry by hand to and from a small boat. Evinrude offered a front-mount shift lever, a shallow-water drive, and power tilt as optional extras on this engine family; confirm with us which, if any, this particular unit has, since the controls fitted here are a plain tiller handle paired with manual tilt rather than any of those add-ons.

Where a motor this size fits

A single-cylinder portable like this one typically serves dinghies, inflatables, or an auxiliary kicker role on a larger boat, where light weight and simple carbureted fueling matter more than top speed or outright thrust, and where a built-in fuel tank saves running a separate line.

Is this electric start? No, it starts on a pull rope.

How much does it weigh? 57 lbs.
