Can anyone tell what year are these o/b motors by their model numbers?
Nothing on the motor shows the year manufactured.

Evinrude 88hp: E88MSLCER

Evinrude 15hp: E15RLENM

According to NADAguides.com, the 15hp "E15RLEN" is a 1992 model.

OMC uses a code involving the word "introduces". Each letter of introduces
corresponds to a number (I=1; N=2 .... E=9; S=0). Plug that into the last
two characters of the s/n and you'll have year. For your 15, there is an
"M" after the EN. I don't know what that stands for, but it's not part of
the year number - maybe "manual" (vs. electric)? I don't know.

DJ,

Mahalo for the info. The 15 is a manual tilt. My cousin's husband passed
away and no one in her family fishes. Subject motors, along with 17' boat,
trailer and all accessories will be donated to the Kidney Foundation.

Mahalo again,
