Re: Just bought 88HP Evinrude - where to start?
The reason it says 88hp on your cover is because it's an 88 SPL(Special), it's a 90hp motor without VRO and T&T(Trim and Tilt).<br /><br />Just as a reference for you,(I usually find this helpful at the pump), this is the formula for mixing 50:1.<br /><br />Gallons of gas X 128 divided by 50 = ounces of oil<br /><br />Example:<br /><br />13 gallons X 128 = 1,664, divided by 50 = 33.28 ounces of oil.<br /><br />Easy enough to do real quick on a cell phone calculator at the pump. Just change the divided by number for whatever ratio you want to run, for 25:1 you would divide by 25 instead of 50 and so on.<br /><br />Good luck with the new boat.
