Re: someone please help, Evinrude SPL 88 year model
I have an Evinrude Spl 88 which the person who sold it to me was
a special edition motor to celebrate 88th aniversary. Year would
be 1988. I think for all practical purposes that it is 90 hp.

Re: someone please help, Evinrude SPL 88 year model
I found a serial and model number on the mounting bracket but havent had any luck corresponding the numbers with anything on the internet. Is that where the engine numbers are located? I wasnt sure if that was the engine numbers or if the mounting bracket had its own numbers. Thanks
Re: someone please help, Evinrude SPL 88 year model
It would be on a plate or sticker on the port transom bracket.
The numbers may also be stamped on a nickel-sized aluminum welch plug on the engine block. They are on the top of one of the cylinder banks on the crossflow engines.

boy, Charlie, someone really saw you coming, to come up with that story.
"I have an Evinrude Spl 88 which the person who sold it to me was

basically, the 88spl is a 90 hp with out the oil mixing system.

Re: someone please help, Evinrude SPL 88 year model
the numbers I found look like ESBTLEDR & G 03982918, the sun has faded them a little, but Im fairly sure thats what it says. I should have put them up on my first post, just a little brain dead yesterday. Maybe some one will know what they mean.

For the record, the two characters before the last one indicate the year. In this case, "ED". The code word is INTRODUCES, where I = 1, N = 2, T = 3, and so on. So ED = 96, 1996.
Re: someone please help, Evinrude SPL 88 year model
I looked in better light, and after every body's insight, what I thought was a BB is indeed an 88. Thanks to everyone for the help on this matter. And also Bob, the engine is black. The correct model number is E88TSLEDR. Have a wonderful day and happy boating to all!!
