🔍 Model Background

The Johnson Evinrude 15 HP 2-Cylinder Outboard (1993–2004) was a compact, lightweight, and highly dependable 2-stroke engine, ideal for powering small fishing boats, inflatables, tenders, and portable skiffs. With a reputation for rugged simplicity, reliability, and ease of maintenance, it became one of the most popular models in the lightweight outboard class.

Equipped with a 2-cylinder carbureted 2-stroke engine, the 15 HP offered excellent torque and throttle response, capable of planing lightweight boats quickly. It used a 50:1 fuel-to-oil pre-mix, making it easy to service and maintain in both freshwater and saltwater applications. Its relatively low weight made it ideal for transom-mounted and portable setups.

Available in short and long shaft configurations, the motor could be equipped with either manual (recoil) or electric start, and was commonly offered with a tiller steering setup, though remote options were available. The engine’s water-cooled system, through-hub exhaust, and corrosion-resistant construction contributed to its quiet operation and long service life.

Boaters appreciated this model’s dependable cold starts, minimal vibration, and fuel-efficient performance. It became a favorite for anglers and utility boaters needing consistent power without the complexity or cost of larger motors.

Though production ended in 2004 as emission regulations shifted the market toward 4-stroke and direct-injection models, the Johnson Evinrude 15 HP remains highly respected in the used outboard market for its light weight, power-to-weight ratio, and classic 2-stroke dependability.
