Year of my 25 hp Evinrude engine?

[Captain Ahab]

Model No.: TE 25 EL CF R



I am reading this (according to an online site https://www.marineengine.com/manuals/evinrude/#e25hp) as:

T = Tracker (that is what I have)
E = Evinrude ((correct again)

25 = 25 hp

E = Electric start (Correct)
L = Long shaft (correct)

C= 8
F= 9

R = Model run or suffix

So, I am reading this as an "Tracker, Evinrude, 25 hp, electric start made in 1989, factory run "R"

Am I correct here??

Almost right except the letter "F" is not an "F" but most likely an "E".
OMC uses the 10 letter word "INTRODUCES" as a code for the year of their outboards. The letter "I" is 1, "N" is 2, etc....etc The last letter "S" is 0.
I don't know if the second "E" is for Evinrude but it probably is.
The last letter really doesn't pertain to anything as pretty much you stated.
Basically what you have is a 1989 OMC 25hp longshaft, electric start, outboard motor.
