Evinrude jets

[snagged in outlet 3]

For new motors Is there a difference between a 60 jet and 60 HO?   Isn’t real clear on their website.

A 60HO would be 65hp (63-64.8 actual)

A 115HO would be 124.2ish

Basically an 8% increase across the powerband.

As far as I know it is all in the mid-section exhaust and software tuning....so a little louder and a little less fuel efficient.  Bore, stroke, and porting are the same. 

I would expect that a 60jet could automatically be considered "HO", but with a rev limiter programmed into it I'm not sure about that.  I still have alot to learn about the new age computer controlled systems..... I'm slowly (reluctantly) getting there. 🙄

If you're considering swapping the 4-stroke Merc for an Evinrude......You have my full support. 😊

I have a buddy looking at them and I might price it out too.  They are running a 7 year warranty deal.  
why do some say HO on the cowl and others just say 60?   Hoping @Seth or @LittleRedFisherman might know.

Btw not so easy for me mercury are short shaft and Evinrude are long.

I run a 60/40 HO on mine Pete.  My old 60/40 would run 27to 28.  This one will run  low 30s.  I have an 18/52 now as opposed to 17/52 on the old motor.  I didn’t really want the extra speed as much as the ability to plane out better with more weight.  I believe the HO does that better for me.  With 3 batteries, gear and trolling moter and if I wanna take 2 guys with me. My boat will still plane good and run high 20s.  It’s more weight on the back being a 90hp head detuned or whatever but love it after 2 years of use

So is there a difference in the HO and the non-HO badged motors??

The 60 is a 52.7cu block and the 60ho is 79.1. I imagine the 60ho will have more noticeable torque since due to the higher displacement and extra cylinder. The 60ho also weighs 80lbs more than the non-ho 60. I'd go with the 60ho or bump up to the 90 since they weigh the same (same block as Brett already mentioned).

Where did you get that info?
