a boat Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Hi, supply a model number and we can tell you the age of the outboard. The 28HP is a commercial engine and based on the same block as 20-35HP from different eras and plenty of these engines survive 30 plus years so one of the best outboard ever made but as with anything second hand the way it has been treated will affects its longevity. as for flushing the model number will tell me what gearcase it has and therefore what flusher is needed. My advise would be to buy a genuine service manual to learn the most abut this engine. Cheers, Huey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryO Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hi, Huey many thanks for your feedback.the model no.of my Evinrude 28hp.SPL. is E28ESLERS. Hi Tackle, looks pretty good but how many $'s did u pay ? . Im sure everything with the boat will be fine but it would have been a better idea to post here and ask questions THEN buy later.

cheap charlie Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) 1994 Model, Easy enough (also makes a lot less noise) to flush the motor in a large bucket / bin. If that's not convenient, you can buy an adapter to flush the motor from a hose. If you are not very familiar with outboards, I would recommend you get the motor looked over and whilst there there get the plugs, impeller and the oil changed in the leg. That way you know where you are at with the motor. Edited May 31, 2012 by Cheap Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aussie007 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 i could be wrong but i think the flushers for this model are no longer sold hopefully craig corrects me and this guy is in luck and they are available the flusher would connect somewhere under the rear of the cavitation plate also looking at the pic u dont have a thru prop exhaust so remove your prop and inspect the sheer pin before u take it out on the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
