Evinrude E90 Outboard Motor

This used Evinrude E90 is a three-cylinder E-TEC outboard finished in graphite controls, with electric start and a remote-steering setup that can take an optional tiller accessory.

Under the cowling

This block displaces 79 cubic inches, the primary gear ratio sits at 2.00:1, and the motor redlines somewhere between 5,000 and 5,500 rpm at full throttle. Power trim and tilt run through a Trac-1 unit rather than a manual system, which keeps adjustments a one-touch job from the helm.

Fit and rigging

The shaft on this unit measures 20 inches and the whole package weighs 320 lbs; verify that shaft length against your boat's transom before ordering, since the wrong leg length changes how the motor sits in the water and how it cools, and can affect prop clearance too.

Three-cylinder rigging in general

A three-cylinder Evinrude in this weight class typically suits mid-size runabouts and center consoles, where the added cylinder over a two-cylinder motor brings smoother running at the cost of some extra mass at the transom.

Can an owner add a tiller handle later? Yes, a tiller accessory is sold as an option for this remote-steer rigging.

How much does it weigh? 320 lbs.

Is the trim powered or manual? Powered, through the Trac-1 system rather than a hand lever at the stern.
