Post the model number. There was no 90 hp in 1977. There's an 85 and there are several versions in different years for the 90 hp.

Whoops! 77 was a guess! I'll write down the model number tonight and post.<br /><br />Thanks!

If its definately a 90 hp most likely its newer (lets hope!) although it could be really old....

There were no VRO in 77. It is painted over, but based on the "90" logo i think it might be a 88 - 90. Is it blue underneeth ? Dark or light blue ?

Re: 1977 90HP Johnson VRO

Looking at your picture again, the mounting bracket looks older than 88 - 90. Maybe this one swapped a couple of parts with another. We need the model number from the plate or tag on bracket.<br />How does it look under hood. Is block factory black ?? They were from 86 - 87.

I haven't looked under the hood yet. It's not mine so I wouldn't feel comfortable opening too much up.<br /><br />The model number is E90TL0S.<br /><br />I know I've seen online reference charts before but I can't find them now.<br /><br />Can anyone tell me what this is?<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />Josh

Need to recheck your model number I think this is correct. There was no OS model.<br /><br /><br />1990 90hp EVINRUDE 300lbs

Probably an 85' or 95' model. Either it's CO or EO, As in E90TLC0S or E90TLE0S... More than likely the 85' model... Also, the E at the beginning would make it an Evinrude. The 1985 E90TLCO weighs 300 Lbs...

Re: 1977 90HP Johnson VRO

Thanks folks. I took the boat out today with the owner. It's an 85.

Oh, and it's a E90TLC0S
