Evinrude E25DGTL E-TEC Outboard Motor

This used Evinrude E25DGTL starts by rope rather than a key, with electric start listed as an accessory rather than standard equipment. For a 25 HP, two-cylinder E-TEC, that means no battery to maintain unless you add the electric option. Why rope-first matters A motor that starts and runs on a pull cord alone keeps you on the water even if a battery goes flat or wiring fails somewhere else on the boat, a trade worth weighing against the convenience electric start offers at the dock. Tiller steering is standard here too, with remote steering listed only as a conversion, and tilt is adjusted manually rather than through a switch. Size and controls Weight is recorded at 154 lbs, and the shaft runs 20 in; both numbers matter for matching this motor to your boat before you commit to buying it. Controls are mechanical throughout. Corrosion around the cowling latches and powerhead bolts is common on motors that saw saltwater use; ask us about this unit's operating history. A test run in a barrel or on the water, rather than just a dry start, tells you more about how this motor actually performs once warm, and is worth doing before you finalize the purchase. Is electric start included on this unit? No, it is listed only as an accessory over the standard rope pull. Is this a new engine? No, the E25DGTL is used.
