Evinrude E40DSL E-TEC Outboard Motor

This used Evinrude E40DSL carries the same larger engine block as this lineup's remote-steered, heavier motors, but is tiller-steered rather than remote, with electric-only starting and power trim and tilt. It is listed at 240 lbs (109 kg). Engine specifics This block reaches 864 cc (53 cu in) from a 3.62 in bore and a 2.60 in stroke, turning a 2.9:1 gear ratio inside a 5500-6000 RPM throttle window, with an 81-amp alternator, 25 net. The shaft is 20 in (508 mm). Why tiller steering at this weight matters A tiller-steered motor at this weight is heavier than the smaller, hand-steered motors elsewhere in this lineup, so confirm your boat and bracket can handle it, and that you are comfortable steering a motor this size by hand rather than from a console. Starting is electric only, with no rope backup fitted, so check your battery setup too before ordering. A used motor's finish and welds around the gearcase are worth a close look for stress cracks, which show up more often on bigger blocks like this one. Ask us for photos of the powerhead and lower unit if you cannot inspect this motor in person before buying it outright. Is this motor remote-steered? No, steering on this unit is by tiller. Is it new? No, the E40DSL is used.
