Evinrude E40DGTL E-TEC Outboard Motor

This used Evinrude E40DGTL steps up to a larger engine block than the smaller motors in this lineup, a two-cylinder E-TEC displacing 53 cu in (864 cc). It is remote-steered, electric-start only, with power trim and tilt, and weighs 250 lbs (113 kg), the heaviest motor of its type here. Engine specifics The bore measures 3.62 in (92 mm) while the stroke is 2.60 in (66 mm), on a 2.9:1 final gear within a 5500-6000 RPM throttle window, fed by an 81-amp alternator rated 25 net. Rigging and fit Starting is electric only here, with no rope backup noted, so check your battery and wiring before ordering. A tiller kit is offered as a conversion over the remote steering this motor ships with, and the shaft measures 20 in (508 mm). Given the weight, confirm your transom and mounting bracket are rated to carry this motor safely. Check that the shift linkage moves smoothly between gears on a used motor like this one; a stiff linkage can usually be adjusted rather than replaced. Check that the shift cable detents feel positive in forward, neutral, and reverse, since a worn detent can make it hard to tell which gear you are in. Does it have a rope backup for starting? No, starting on this unit is electric only. Is it new? No, this E40DGTL is used.
