Mercury 15EH FourStroke Outboard Motor

Where the 15E in this lineup runs remote controls, this used Mercury 15EH FourStroke puts a tiller handle on the same 15 HP, two-cylinder engine, electric start, and 15-inch shaft, at a dry weight of 99 lb and finished in Phantom Black. It suits a boat without an existing console-mounted control box.

Fuel and trim

Trim is adjusted by hand rather than power-operated, with a shallow water setting opening to 16 degrees for running in thin water, and a 3.2-gallon remote fuel tank handles supply rather than an internal reservoir. A CARB star rating of 3 applies to the fuel induction system here, same as the rest of this family.

Coverage and buying notes

Five years of combined coverage come with this engine: the usual three-year Mercury term, extended by a two-year Product Protection Gold plan. Because it's sold used, ask the seller about hours and maintenance history, and confirm your boat is set up for tiller steering before ordering.

Can this be steered remotely instead? No, this version is built around the tiller handle rather than remote controls.

Does it need fuel premixed with oil? No, it runs as a four-stroke with oil kept separate from the fuel.

Is the tilt power-operated? No, tilt as well as trim are both adjusted manually on this model, same as the remote-steer 15E.
