Help me ID this Evinrude, 2-cycle or 4-cycle?
 

Hi,

My brother in law has a pontoon boat with a 1996 Evinrude E60 60hp motor.
He doesn't know whether it is a 2 cycle or 4 cycle motor, and I told him
I'd try to find out before he mixes oil into his gas.

Does anyone here know, one way or the other? I'm afraid I don't have any
info other than the above, and he apparently doesn't have a manual.

Thanks for any help.

Evinrude never make a 4 cycle engine on a boat in 86.

My best guess would be its a 2 cycle.

Does it have an oil filter on it? (4 cycle indication)

Is there an oil tank with it???? (2 cycle indication)

It's a 96, not an 86. I don't know what it looks like - I wish I could take
a look at it but it's out of state.

I guess if it's definitive one way or the other, that's the only way I could
help him out (for example if you said Evinrude never made a 4 cycle in 1996,
that would be that)

Thanks

It is a two stroke. It might be variable ratio oiling (or VRO) - you
can tell if it has VRO on the cowl or has an onboard oil tank.

If not, then it's a mix your own at 50:1.

Opps sorry, still applies though. Evinrude didnt make any 4 cycle
outboards then.
