Desperate for help on year of 25hp

[October1]

Hi everyone,
Sorry my first post is asking for help instead of helping but I have a 25 HP Evinrude I bought about 6 years ago and then it sat until now. Problem is there is no Model number plate or anything stamped on it to Identify year or model and I'm hoping someone here can help me identify my motor. Here are a couple pics of the motor cover if that helps.

Look on the top of the power head for a core plug about the size of a quarter. There should be some numbers on it. Post them.

Are you referring to this?

Yup!

E25TELCCA That's your model number.

E - Evinrude
25 - HP
TE - Tiller Electric
L - Long Shaft
C - 8
C - 8
A - Model run or suffix... Not important.

So, you have a 1988 25 hp, Long shaft (20") with electric start.

Thank you! You guys are awesome!!!!!!!!!!

This not only lets me know what I have but confirms what I thought about the impeller and why it isn't working. It's the wrong part! Even though the impeller fit's OK the "key" is a pin that looks like a roller bearing that goes against the flat on the shaft. The correct part has a key that is flat on one side and curved on the other. I suspect when I get the proper impeller and key the motor will pump water just fine.

Plus now I know that if I need any new parts I can get the right ones thanks to you guys. Thanks again!
