Evinrude tracker 25hp

[cameronhanny]

So my motor is an evinrude tracker 25 hp. It is not a hand tiller. Does anyone know if they are 2 stroke, 4 stroke or can be either?

If you can lift it, its a 2 stroke. :laugh:

Seriously though, I don't think the tracker label went on a 4 stroke.
Look for a model number on the side of the transom bracket.
That should tell you exactly what you have.

If it has a flywheel belt, oil filter and a dip stick definitely it's a 4 stroke...

Re: Evinrude tracker 25hp

I was able to go outside today to look over my boat and motor. It is a 2 stroke and has 4 plugs. So I'm guessing it is a 4 cylinder. But I need to know 2 more things about my motor. 1. Does anyone know the gas ratio for my motor? And 2. What brand and style battery should I buy to power the motor, nav lights, a 12v plug in and maybe some big lights for night fishing? Thanks in advance for any answers you can give me.

Re: Evinrude tracker 25hp

4 pluggs = 4 cylinders whether a V or in line 4. Gas/Oil ratio should be 50:1 unless being a VRO version which adjusts oil on rpm demand. Go for at least a Heavy Duty 60/70 amp bat.

Re: Evinrude tracker 25hp

I bought a 845 cranking amp everlast deep cycle marine battery today, just hit the key to see if it would crank and started cranking as soon as I turned the key. Would I need to mix the gas before putting it in the tank or just pour the oil in the tank with the gas? I was also thinking the same thing about the 4 plugs on a 25. There are 2 on top and 2 on the bottom.

Re: Evinrude tracker 25hp

Do not start that motor until you post a model number. NO ONE can tell what motor it really is and you have posted some confusing information.

If it is started wrong, the wrong fuel or fuel mix is used ........you will damage the motor.

Do not take the chance.

Re: Evinrude tracker 25hp

If it really is a 4 cylinder Evinrude we can surely say it isn't a 25 and may not be an evinrude.

Re: Evinrude tracker 25hp

Probably he missed by 100, 125 ? Post internal powerhead pics for clarification. If it's a VRO engine don't need to mix oil in tank, should have an internal small oil tank inside cowl. If you add oil in fuel tank being a VRO engine that horse will smoke worst than a gang of indians smoking a peace pipe each inside a tent.

Happy Boating

Re: Evinrude tracker 25hp

I have already searched the model number and it is a 25. I will post it so you can search for yourself. I don't know a lot about boats but that was the one thing I triple checked to make sure it was right.
Te25eleid <- there is the model number. Reads out evinrude tracker model, 25 hp electric start, 20" shaft, 91 model. The only part of the model number I didn't understand was the suffix, searched for at least and hour and couldn't figure out what it was for.

If it has four spark plugs, it is NOT a 25.

Re: Evinrude tracker 25hp

Check the model number. It states that it is a 25. http://shop.evinrude.com/media/document/ModelNumberReference.pdf
I have owned a ford ranger that had 8 plugs but was a 4 cylinder. It was uncommon but still a normal 4 cylinder.

Re: Evinrude tracker 25hp

A TE25ELEID is a twin cylinder motor, it has two spark plugs, two pistons, etc.

If you have more than two spark plugs, its not a 1991 25hp. I have two of those motors here and am very familiar with them.
If you have a four plugs, and its an OMC motor, someone has switched the ID tag. OMC four cylinder motors are 85hp to 140hp.
A two stroke motor will not have two plugs per cylinder. On the Ford 2.3L with the four plugs, the plugs fire sequentially and the two plugs fire at different timing intervals. This would not work in a two stroke motor.


Let see some pics.

You're right, some did. They weren't the only ones.

No OMC product ever had two plugs/cylinder. At least no 2 strokers. Suzuki did.

Tracker used OMC (Johnson/Evinrude) rebadged products from about 1988 until about 1991.

Re: Evinrude tracker 25hp

I believe there was a 3 cylinder OMC 25 circa: 1991.

Re: Evinrude tracker 25hp

I am at work and get off at 5. Can have pics up around 5:15. It is an omc motor(at least that is what it says on the hand throttle), it does have 4 plugs. I think it would be impossible to put a 25hp cover on an 85hp up motor. I have never seen one fit perfect on that big a jump in hp. Everything the model # says online is matching my motor to a T. I don't know much about boat motors but from looking at the model # on my motor to the ones online they are identical. I understand it is hard to get an idea of what I'm saying without pictures. Even the size if the motor is only slightly bigger then the 7.5hp hand tiller I have for my jon boat so I wouldn't think it is much bigger then a 25hp that has been badged a 25.

Re: Evinrude tracker 25hp
