There is a model 60452 listed under 60hp, 1964year. Not sure what the S means, but in the 60's they were 2 cycle. I don't think 4 cycle came out until the 80's. Evinrude Outboard Motor Model Numbers
Bruce,
Do you have the serial number of the motor? Reason I ask is twofold. Evinrude started using this model number layout as of 1980. Having said this, something is not making sense with the location of the "N" in your model number. Those last two letters as of 1980 are the year. Here is the chart. Letter on top with corresponding year below it.
I N T R O D U C E S
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
So... Example
1980= CS
1990= ES
2000= SS
2010= IS
You have E8RLNR which breaks down as:
E= Evinrude
8= 8hp
R= Rope start tiller steering
L= 20" shaft
N= 2nd year
R= 4th year
I would expect to see the N in the last spot:
1982= CN
1992= EN
etc.
Serial number is another way to identify the year.
This may hep point you in the right direction. Hope it helps.
I found a mixture of sites for the information
one owner of a 1998 25 hp evinrude says that it is a 2 stroke with a fuel mix ratio of 50:1 as 25:1 is a bit smokey
another site says that the recommended octane fuel rating is 87 although it might run better on 91
best advice is to find an evinrude service dealer and get the right information as the later 25 hp units are etec engine which will be 4 strokes
To get the year of Johnson and Evinrude outboards use the word "INTRODUCES". Each letter corresponds to "1234567890" respectfully. It's best to check with a model year reference book, but this motor's model number contains "CC" which would indicate it's a '88.
