2018 Evinrude E-TEC 15 HP E15HTSL H.O. Kicker Engine

The 2018 Evinrude E15HTSL carries the same 15 HP E-TEC rating as the rest of this kicker line, on a 20-inch long shaft, able to start by key when convenient or by rope when it isn't. A backup engine built to the same numbers Displacement reaches 577 cc from a 76 mm by 64 mm bore and stroke, and full throttle tops out between 5,000 and 5,500 RPM. Dry weight comes to 187.0 pounds. High speed power tilt raises the leg clear of the water at the trailer, so there is no manual lifting required at the ramp before towing home. Keeping it fed and cooled Fuel is drawn from an external tank at 87 octane, unleaded, and Evinrude/Johnson XD-100 is the specified oil, carried at a 1.7-quart capacity and moved through multi-point targeted oiling. Fifteen amps of the 56-amp alternator are reserved net dedicated for trolling electronics such as a fishfinder. The lower unit gears down at 2.15:1 and shifts forward, neutral, and reverse; cooling is by raw water, and the engine carries a saltwater rating for coastal use. Condition and sizing this against a main engine This E15HTSL is new, not a used or refurbished unit, and its tiller steering and dual starting options are built for pairing with a larger primary outboard rather than running solo. Is starting electric or manual? Either; it fires by key or by pull cord. Can it be run in salt water? Yes, it is rated for it.
