I have come across what seems to be a early to mid 90's 25hp Evinrude outboard. It is missing the id plate on the transom mount where the model no. is located, and it was repainted all black so Im having a bit of a time figuring out what exactly it is.<br /> I can tell you that the org. color was blue like the evinrudes and had a white and red strip around the lower unit.<br /> After researching a bit i found you can find a model number on the core plug but the number I found does not resimble a model no. at all. the number is R8174900 which I belive to be a serial number.<br />I called Evinrude and the guy on the other line was of no help.<br />Im hoping with yalls vast knowledge of outboards you can help shine some light or at least point me in the right direction. I need a few parts for it, like a hinge pin and extra filters..etc. so the if there is another location for the model number that Im not aware of please share the info.<br />Thanks in advance,<br />Chevis<br />Baton Rouge, LA
