I'm wanting to know the year so I can get a new cowling. I bought it after the Boston Whaler it was on was flipped over off it's trailer by a freak gust of wind. It crunched the back of the cowling.

Will any early 90s cowling fit? Also what is the best replacement spark plug?

Call BRP Customer Service and give them the # on the plug. 1-262-884-5993. They have helped me before.

Re: Trying to identify year of 25 Hp

the reason i said early 90s is i think 1990 was the first year they put the shifter up front. the older ones had the little shifter that is hard to reach half way back on the side. for the plug it is a champion QL77JC4 or L78V or QL82C. I would stick with the first one.

i think any cowling from 1990 until 1995 would fit. i was looking on the brp site and in 1996 the the tops were not square like yours but more round. you might not find the exact decals and im not sure but it is possible you could fit one off a 30hp or maybe even a 35hp. or even find a johnson top of the same era and paint it.

Is there any way to determine at least the model number from the number on the welsh plug noting also that it has tiller steering, manual start, manual shift etc.

Yep, see boobie's suggestion in post #9.

I think the 91 on the plug means it's a 1991. That is consistent with the stickers that are on it too from what I have seen.

Any cowl all the way up to about 2000 will fit, down to probably mid 80's. I know any 90's cowl will fit it.
