Okay to clear things up here is the link to the motors with displacement #'s.  https://www.evinrude.com/en-US/e-tec/e-tec-full-specs.html#tab=7

Here is the link to the 60 HO on the 90 power head.  https://www.evinrude.com/content/dam/evinrude/Global/MY2020/Documents/outboard-specs/ETEC-60-HO-Outboard.pdf

I don't want to call out any dealers but they should look at this before they start trying to tell you what's up....And they are wrong!  Some even say they don't make the 60 HO.  Crazy and confusing at the same time.

I think the confusion is with the factory jets versus replacing a prop lower with a jer. Factory jets come labeled as 40, 60 and 105hp. The powerheads are actually 60, 90 and 150 though. The HO motors are sold from the factory as props and then the dealer has to swap the lower to a jet.

Cowtown gets them with the jet pump on them from the factory but the other's don't.

Edit:  Cowtown pulls them off too.  And they know the difference in the motors.  Which is rare apparently..

Only if they are from the factory jet line up and they have the pump rated horsepower on the cowling. If it says the powerhead rating on the cowling, it came from the factory with a prop lower.

That's what I was about to say, because there's no tech info to be had on any HO jets..... you're basically on your own. But I'm not a dealer so I really don't know for sure, and the main dealer that I do work with doesn't know, or care.

I'm not even clear on why they ever started that whole "HO" or "ProXS"crap to begin with.  All it does (from my perspective) is complicate things.   Just like the old "Stinger" 75hp Johnson's.  It's a 3 cylinder 75, nothing special at all.

From the Jet Doctor:

The 60 Jet is their 90 hp motor that comes from the factory  with a jet so it’s rated 60 hp
The 60 HO comes with a lower unit that is a 90 hp that’s been de-tuned to a 60 hp with a prop we take the HO and remove the lower unit and install a Jet so it’s a 40 hp jet which is legal to run

That made sense.

That doesn't.

That does.

 

A BS sandwich ?   Yum.  😅

The 60 jet is 60 at the nozzle (90/60) with a 90 powerhead and the 60 HO is 40 at the nozzle (60/40) using the same 90 powerhead.

They could not make it more confusing.

Yeah that middle part was a brain fart.  It's ok, we all have them. 😅 

I didn't even know they were producing HO's under 115.....so I learned something. But that "something" just creates a more perplexing ignorance..... because now I'm wondering WHY? 

Why do we need a 60 HO ?   🙄 No boats are rated for 60hp, it's either 55 or 90 on that end of the spectrum.  It might be time for me to go back to school.

Especially since they make a 40 jet.
