The E60DPGL at a Glance

Sixty horsepower. E-TEC direct injection two-stroke. About 240 pounds. Twenty inch shaft, electric start, power trim and tilt, remote steering with a tiller option. At the time of writing it’s listed at around $4,500.

For a lot of small and mid-size boats, that combination is just about perfect. It’s the reason people keep searching for an Evinrude 60 HP outboard for sale years after the brand stopped making new ones.

Evinrude 60 HP Outboard for Sale: Complete Specifications

Weight is the big number here. 240 pounds for 60 horsepower is light, lighter than many four-strokes of the same power. On a small boat, less weight on the transom means the boat sits better, planes easier, and handles better.

Why Owners Like the E-TEC 60

It comes down to three things.

Light weight. As above. Small boats notice every extra pound at the back, and this motor keeps it down.

Punchy low end. Direct injection two-strokes make strong torque early. The boat jumps up on plane instead of wallowing.

Low maintenance. No oil changes, no valves, and long service intervals. Most owners do very little besides flushing it and checking the basics.

Put those together and you can see why a clean Evinrude 60 HP outboard for sale is a popular find.

How It Runs

Start it up and it settles into a quiet idle quickly. No smoke. Push the throttle forward and it pulls hard from low RPM. On a 16 foot aluminum boat with two people it’s on plane almost before you notice.

At cruise, 3,800 to 4,500 RPM or so, it’s comfortable and efficient. Top speed depends on hull and prop, but it’s a lively motor on the right boat.

At trolling speeds the stratified combustion mode keeps it clean and lean, so it doesn’t load up or foul plugs over a long morning of fishing. That’s something older two-strokes were bad at, and the E-TEC fixed it.

Which Boats Suit an Evinrude 60 HP Outboard for Sale?

Start with the capacity plate. It lists the max horsepower and weight for your boat. Stay within it. For more on this, the U.S. Coast Guard boating safety site has clear, practical information.

The E60DPGL is a good match for:

• 14 to 17 foot aluminum fishing boats
• Jon boats and utility boats
• Small bass boats and multi-species boats rated for 60 HP
• 16 to 18 foot pontoons for relaxed cruising
• Rigid inflatable boats and larger tenders
• Small workboats and skiffs

The 20 inch shaft suits most of these. Measure your transom before ordering. If you’re not sure, send us the measurement and a photo and we’ll tell you.

Common Setups Our Buyers Go For

The aluminum fishing boat

This is the classic match. A 16 foot tiller or side-console aluminum boat with a 60 HP rating. The E-TEC’s light weight and punch make it feel like a much bigger motor on a hull like that.

The small pontoon

On a 16 or 18 foot pontoon, the 60 gives you easy cruising with family aboard. It’s not for pulling skiers, but for fishing and relaxing it’s plenty.

The RIB or tender

Bigger RIBs rated for 60 HP get up and go with this motor, and the low weight matters a lot on inflatables.

The overseas buyer

We send plenty of motors to buyers in island nations and coastal regions where new outboards are very expensive after import duty. A tested Evinrude 60 HP outboard for sale from us, shipped to port, often costs far less than buying locally.

What We Check on Every Evinrude 60 HP Outboard for Sale

Reading the Model Code

• E Evinrude
• 60 horsepower
• D engine family
• P power trim and tilt
• G graphite paint. S means white
• L 20 inch shaft. X is 25 inch

An H in place of the D usually marks a high output version. So when you compare one Evinrude 60 HP outboard for sale with another, the code tells you a lot straight away.

E-TEC 60 Versus a 60 HP Four-Stroke

Reasons to go E-TEC

• Lighter weight in most comparisons
• Stronger torque off the bottom
• No oil changes, no valve adjustments
• Service rated at 300 hours or three years under normal use
• Much lower price for a tested motor

Reasons to go four-stroke

• Brand-new factory warranty from a manufacturer still in production
• Some local dealers don’t work on two-strokes

For most small-boat owners, the Evinrude 60 HP outboard for sale here is the better buy for the money. It’s lighter, simpler, and keeps more cash in your pocket.

Propping Your E-TEC 60

Aim for 5,500 to 6,000 RPM at full throttle with a normal load. If you can’t reach 5,500, go down in pitch. If you’re over 6,000, go up.

Each inch of pitch moves full throttle RPM by roughly 150 to 200 RPM. Aluminum props are fine for most boats. Stainless is tougher and a bit faster if you want to spend more. Tell us your boat and we’ll suggest a starting point.

What Ownership Costs Look Like

Fuel. Very efficient, especially at low and mid-range. Direct injection wastes very little fuel.

Oil. The on-board tank needs topping up now and then. Usage is low because the engine only meters what it needs.

Maintenance. Plugs, impeller, gear oil, anodes, grease. That’s about it for routine work.

Resale. Clean E-TECs keep their value well, since there are no new ones being made.

Before Buying Any Used Evinrude 60 HP Outboard for Sale

If you’re shopping around, here’s what to check on any Evinrude 60 HP outboard for sale:

• Diagnostic report. Hours, usage, faults. Ask for it.
• Compression. Both cylinders should be close.
• Overheat history. Shows up in the log.
• Lower unit oil. Clean, not milky, no metal.
• Corrosion. Especially on saltwater motors.
• Test run. Easy start, clean idle, strong revs, smooth shifting.

We do all of this for you before shipping.

How E-TEC Direct Injection Actually Works

A lot of people hear “two-stroke” and picture a smoky old motor with oil mixed in the gas. The E-TEC is different, and it helps to know why.

On an old carbureted two-stroke, fuel and oil get mixed and pushed through the crankcase into the cylinder. Some of that mix goes straight out the exhaust before it ever burns. That’s where the smoke, smell, and poor fuel economy came from.

On an E-TEC, fuel is injected straight into the cylinder at high pressure, after the exhaust port has closed. Nothing escapes unburned. Oil is fed separately, only to the parts that need it, in the amount the computer decides. At low RPM the engine switches to a stratified mode where it burns a small, concentrated charge of fuel near the spark plug. That’s why it trolls so cleanly.

The result is a two-stroke with the torque and light weight two-strokes are known for, but with clean running and fuel use that competes with four-strokes. That’s really the whole appeal of an Evinrude 60 HP outboard for sale like this one.

Saltwater or Freshwater Use

The E60DPGL is fine in both. Evinrude built E-TECs with saltwater use in mind, with corrosion protection throughout.

If you run in salt, a few habits make a big difference. Flush it with fresh water after every trip, not just now and then. Rinse the outside of the motor too, and spray a corrosion inhibitor under the cowling a few times a season. Keep an eye on the anodes, since they wear faster in salt.

In freshwater, life is easier on the motor. You still want to flush now and then, especially in muddy or weedy lakes, and check the water pump regularly.

Setting It Up With a Tiller

The E60DPGL comes set up for remote steering, but Evinrude made a tiller accessory for this range. Plenty of aluminum boat owners prefer a tiller since it frees up floor space and makes the boat easier to fish alone.

If you want to run a tiller, tell us before you order. We’ll check what parts are needed for this particular motor. It’s a straightforward job for a mechanic, and many handy owners do it themselves.

A tiller-steered Evinrude 60 HP outboard for sale on a 16 foot aluminum boat is a really nice fishing setup. Light, responsive, and simple.

50 HP, 60 HP or 75 HP?

If you’re torn between sizes, here’s how we’d look at it.

A 50 HP is fine on light 14 to 16 foot aluminum boats and saves a little money. But on a loaded boat it can feel flat.

The 60 HP sits in the middle. It shares the same light 2-cylinder platform as the 50, so you get extra power without extra weight. On most 16 to 17 foot boats it’s the one that makes the most sense.

A 75 HP moves to a bigger three-cylinder block and adds about 80 pounds. It’s worth it for heavier boats and pontoons, but it’s more than a light aluminum boat needs.

If your boat is rated for 60 and you mostly fish or cruise with two or three people, this Evinrude 60 HP outboard for sale is usually the right call.

Fuel System Tips

Most problems with any outboard start with fuel. A few habits prevent almost all of them.

• Use fresh fuel. Ethanol blends can go stale in a few weeks. Buy what you’ll use.
• Add a water-separating filter. Fit one between the tank and motor if your boat doesn’t have one. It catches water before it reaches the injectors.
• Keep tank vents clear. A blocked vent can starve the motor of fuel.
• Check the primer bulb and lines. Cracked lines let air in and cause rough running.
• Use stabilizer when storing. Run it through the system before you put the boat away.

Look after the fuel and an Evinrude 60 HP outboard for sale like this will reward you with years of easy starts.

Parts and Support

Evinrude outboards stopped being made in 2020. BRP said it would continue supporting owners with parts and service. The E-TEC 60 uses a lot of parts shared with other E-TEC models, and aftermarket suppliers carry the common items, water pump kits, plugs, thermostats, anodes, filters, and seals.

Evinrude Diagnostics software lets you or a mechanic read the engine’s data and set up the oil. For a look at the brand’s long history, see this page on Evinrude outboard motors.

Maintenance That Keeps It Running

1. XD100 oil. Stick with what the engine is set up for.
2. Fresh water flush. After every saltwater outing.
3. Stabilized fuel. If the boat sits.
4. Watch the tell-tale. Every time you start.
5. Grease fittings. Every season.
6. Anodes. Replace at half worn.
7. Auto winterize. Before storage.

For more general care tips, BoatUS has a good library of articles.

Rigging the E60DPGL

• Start with the anti-ventilation plate level with the bottom of the hull.
• Use a solid marine starting battery.
• Prop to hit 5,500 to 6,000 RPM at full throttle.
• Use mechanical controls that match Evinrude.
• After installing, connect diagnostics to confirm settings.
• If you want tiller steering, ask us about the tiller accessory.
