It’s important to understand that BRP, which owns Evinrude, is fine, they are continuing with their recreational products and other segments of their marine business.
And, the news that BRP is discontinuing production of Evinrude outboards came as a surprise to many. For one, Wave to Wave intentionally doesn’t do “news” articles for many reasons but sometimes the news is too big to ignore. I'm in Maryland and the problem seems much more apparent when the weather gets cool/cold.This is a difficult article to write for many reasons. Maybe the fuel system has developed a small leak somewhere that makes it difficult for the fuel lift pump to pressurize properly? I'd be really gratefull to know if you've found the cause of your issue. Can't tell if this helps make the first startup easier or not as I've not gotten consistent results after priming. I've also noticed the"pressurized fuel system" needs to be primed sometimes. Once warmed up my engine starts first time and runs flawlesssly. Once you get close to 1800-2000 rpms these things change and my theory is that a valve(s) from these variations may stick at startup or while throttling up past 2000K. Instead of pulling air through the main intake they use a smaller intake hose/pathway at idle to reduce noise and also run most of the exaust out of the lower unit during idle, also to reduce noise at idle or very low rpms. I've read some tech specs on the engines and they have several features that save gas and reduce noise at idle. Did you ever get it resolved with your motor? I also get some hesitation and the occasion stall when the engine is not warmed up yet, but the issues are only from idle to 2000 rpm. I have a 2007 115 e-tec, notified the dealer and their checking with BRP on causes. I have the same exact problem, it takes anywhere from 3-6 turns of the key to get the engine to start and continue running on the first start of the day. Does anyone else have an E-Tec and have this problem or any advice you can throw my way? Thanks. I've never had this problem with any other motor. Once it starts it normally runs fine but for the first time of the day it takes about 20+ tries to get it going.

I read through my manual and it offers no help with my problem. I have a 115hp E-Tec and I have the hardest time getting it to start.

Any tips on how to check for the leak? I've never really had starting problems in the past so I dont really know how to go about fixing them. I know when its in the garage it does smell overly gassy in there. So it may seem like it may be either a bubble or a leak from what you said. As for having it too low in the water I dont think thats it either, I've tried starting it at different heights thinking it may work for some reason (I didnt know about the exhaust being covered though). I have two primer bulbs (one by the gas tank itself in the storage well and the other outside that connects to the motor) and the one in the well is always tight and the one outside gets tighter but nothing like the other one.
We just bought the boat about a month ago and they filled it up with gas then and he told us everything we need to do since the E-Tec's need the different oil and such, but we havent even came close to needing to change it or anything. I would highly doubt the gas is bad and it has the E-Tec oil in it. Pushing the boat the rest of the way off the trailer and allowing the boat, and engine, to float more level should keep all the sensors in line for a smooth cold start.

When the exhaust relief is under water it causes the sensors to indicate a "too rich" code to the ECM, which in turn shortens injector pulse width in attempt to adjust the fuel balance. The motor needs to be level, and it needs to be able to "breath". If you are starting it on the trailer (before shoving off the bunks) be sure that the exhaust relief on the back of the lower cowling is not under water. I'll mention one other thing, just because I see alot of people doing this on steep ramps. Those are the initial troubleshooting steps for a hard cold start. (Which includes just about every boat design, except for pontoons). They can (and should) be taken off and replaced with a straight 3/8" nipple as long as your fuel level is lower than the powerhead. If the primer bulb pumps up tight but the engine is still hard to cold-start, check to see if your fuel tank may be equipped with an anti-siphon valve. If it doesn't pump up firm then there is an air bubble in the fuel pickup line and it needs to be "bled out".
Pump your primer bulb up tight before cold starting.
