Frequently Asked Questions
What type of engine is the 2004 Evinrude 135 hp?
The 2004 Evinrude 135 hp outboard is a direct-injected two-stroke engine (often called FICHT/DFI in that era) designed for boats needing strong mid-range power and acceleration.
Is the 2004 Evinrude 135 hp a 2-stroke or 4-stroke motor?
It is a 2-stroke outboard, using an advanced direct injection system rather than a traditional carburetor.
What is the horsepower and displacement?
The engine produces about 135 hp and typically has a displacement around 158 ci (2.6 L) in modern E-TEC versions (later evolutions of the same family).
Does it have electric start?
Yes — the common configurations for this motor include electric start, which is standard for this horsepower class.
What is the typical weight of the engine?
It weighs roughly 418–433 lb (190–196 kg) depending on exact model and shaft length.
What shaft lengths are available?
For E-TEC 135 models, standard shaft lengths are generally 20″ or 25″, letting you match the motor to your boat’s transom height.
What type of fuel does it require?
This motor runs on regular unleaded gasoline (typically 87 octane recommended).
Do I need to mix oil with the fuel?
No — the direct injection system handles lubrication automatically with multi-point oiling, so you don’t pre-mix fuel and oil like older 2-strokes.
Is the 2004 Evinrude 135 hp reliable?
These motors are historically strong performers with good torque and acceleration. However, reliability can vary with maintenance history and usage. Some owners have noted part availability and support issues because Evinrude as a brand ceased production.
What kind of maintenance does it need?
Annual service or every ~100 hours Lower unit gear oil changes Water pump impeller checks Fuel and ignition system inspections Refer to the original service manual for exact intervals.
Can this engine be used in saltwater?
Yes — but flushing with fresh water after saltwater use and corrosion control are strongly recommended for longevity.
What boats is it best suited for?
It’s ideal for mid-size fishing boats, bass boats, pontoons, bay boats, and small cruisers, providing a good mix of speed and torque.
