The Evinrude E-TEC 60 H.O. is worth it—[my] easy review.

Unless you have been out in a 15 SS with a 320lb outboard, I wouldnt change a thing. Im 195lbs, full tank of gas and battery and it ran fine. No porpoising, slight bow rise, but it was absolutely fine. Sure, you could put a 25lb lead bag in the bow locker if you want, move the stuff around the boat,...

Installed the E-TEC 60 H.O., and it is working great with a 15-pitch propeller: hits about 42-MPH. And no worries about the weight. The SUPER SPORT 15 ran fine. There is a little bow rise when you start, but no porpoising at all.

Thanks Phil. Much appreciated. The internet is a feisty place sometimes. :) No worries at all.

I came here to ask for advice on others who have mounted ETEC motors on a 15' sport. Thus far I have received only links to general mounting information and some commentary and or correction to my statements. Ideally I was looking for others with ETECs on their 15's and there experiences with mounti...

Its only listed in the brp manuals, but what do i know.

I know it should only be an 1" above the keep Actually, for an E-TEC on a whaler that is not true. Member testing has shown E-TEC's prefer to be mounted 2 or even 3 holes up depending on the prop you choose. Drill the GREEN holes. So I did measure the holes (black holes at the top) and they ar...

Another guy has an E-TEC 60 H.O. on his boat, and he loves it.

How has everyone been with the [anti-ventilation] plate up a little higher than the keel?

And by how far up?

That is, 1-inch [higher than the keel]?

Or, 2-inches [higher than the keel]?

Or more [than 2-inches higher than the keel]?

Thanks Phil! So it sounds like use the black holes, mount it up on 2/3 and drill the bottom and then adjust as needed. I have been concerned with the cavitation, but it sounds like with the ETEC, people have had luck putting the motor up higher.

Hi folks—I know everyone has an opinion, but I like to hear them; for my SPORT 15 I am replacing a Johnson 70 [mounted using the] blind holes with a new engine [that is without blind holes,] an E-TEC 60 H.O. I need to determine the correct mounting height on the transom before drilling holes. The wa...
