So what is it? From looking in the manual the model number is in there as an 88. But what dies that make it? Stringer, 400, 800?

And which ones were electric shift?

I read on the back of a gear lube bottle not to use it on electric shift OMC drives.

Is quicksilver 90W good to use in this drive?

It's a Cobra. The stringer drives (aka 400 & 800) were a completely different type of drive and drive system. They were used up through 85, in 86 the Cobra drive came out and the stringer drives ended.
