Re: Help finding 1996-98 Evinrude 50 HP

Welcome!<br /><br />I dont know where one is right now but that motor (95-98 56 cid 3 cyl) is the same a 89-01 60, 86-93 65, and a 86 & newer 70.<br /><br />Just thought that might widen the field if your looking at weight and configuration.

I believe the 96-97 model 50 Rudes were 2 cylinder.98's are 3 cylinder motors.Some of the 2 cylinders without T/T weigh around 190 lbs.The 3 banger loopers weigh around 240-250 lbs.<br /><br />Example: 96 model 70 hp Rude long shaft w T/T is a three cylinder and weighs 250 lbs.96 model 50 hp long shaft with T/T is a two cylinder and weighs 190 lbs.

Actually there were both 2 & 3 cylinder 50's. In 1996 the 3 cylinder 56 cid 50hp is model number 50ELED and 50DTLED. Actually there is a 25hp 56 cid 3 cylinder too. Basically the same motor with only 1 carb instead of 3. Strange.<br /><br />The 1996 50hp 2 cylinder model numbers are 50BEED, 50BELED, 50TLED, 50JED and 50TELED.<br /><br />Kinda confusing. Although it was the mid - late 90's. OMC was confused.

Hey OB -- no need to stand corrected -- you were right. There is a 2 cylinder 50 in some of the years he listed. Many folks buy a motor thinking its one thing and then find out its the other. Its a very good point to bring up.<br /><br />RB has the best solution -- NJ LB is thinking about a 50. Hummm....a 225? Cool. Kinda like the question about "why 3 V8's?" Obvious answer - "Not room for 4."
