Evinrude E50DPGL E-TEC Outboard Motor

This used Evinrude E50DPGL comes set up for remote steering, with a tiller accessory on the options list, graphite-finish controls, electric start, and power trim and tilt, all riding on a 20-inch shaft. Engine basics The block is a two-cylinder E-TEC direct-injection design displacing 53 cubic inches, and flat out it climbs to somewhere between 5,500 and 6,000 rpm. Power reaches the water through a 2.9:1 primary gearcase, and the dedicated fuel system injects in a stratified low-rpm mode meant to smooth out idle and trolling speeds rather than just wide-open running. Evinrude built this two-cylinder E-TEC line without belts, camshafts, or exhaust valves, which the maker credits with fewer parts to wear down over a season of use than a comparable four-stroke, and with an automatic winterization cycle that fogs the cylinders in minutes rather than requiring a trip to a shop. Fit and what to check At 240 lbs, this engine sits on the lighter side of its class, so measure that 20-inch shaft against your transom before you buy. Confirm the horsepower rating with us before ordering, and ask about rigging compatibility if you're swapping it onto an existing boat. Who a motor like this suits A two-cylinder engine in this weight range commonly ends up on aluminum fishing boats and smaller runabouts, where keeping weight off the stern matters as much as straight-line speed. Remote steering with an optional tiller add-on also leaves some room to change how the boat gets rigged down the road, without committing to one control layout for good. Is a tiller handle included? No, but Evinrude lists one as an add-on accessory for this remote-steering rig. What color are the controls? Graphite.
