Does Evinrude Make a 9.9 Etec? - Answers

As of January 2011 Evinrude does not. In 2010 they came out with a 15 hp E-Tec outboard motor. This is basically there 25hp model regulated to do no more than 15hp. If you look at these motors side by side, there the same size and weight. The weight of the 25 hp E-Tec 20" shaft is between 150 lbs and 183 lbs, depending on the model. The problem is that the 15 hp models weight the same and this too heavy for some boats transoms. In my opinion it's a joke, Evinrude did it so guys could by a smaller matching "kicker" outboard for trolling, next to there bigger higher outboard motor. Lets hope that in the very near future they will come out with a 9.9 or a 15 hp E-Tec that will have the lower weight. These outboards should only be weighing in the neighborhood of 80- 115 pounds. Hope this helps! Chris
