PLEASE NOTE:  Yamaha no longer uses a model year designator.   Starting in 2005 they put a production date on the transom bracket.  Yamaha has determined that you do not need to know the model year.   The model number is the information required to accomplish parts look up.  If you do not feel this is appropriate we encourage you to contact Yamaha.

 

Mercury/Mariner does not code the model year into the model number or serial number.  The model year is determined by the first serial number sold during the model year.  Example: Merc 115ELPTO with serial OT123456 could be 2001 and OT123457 could be 2002.

PLEASE NOTE:  Mercury no longer provides a method to designate the model year.   Starting in 2005 they put a production date on the transom bracket.  Mercury has determined that you do not need to know the model year.   The engine serial number is the information required to accomplish parts look up.  If you do not feel this is appropriate we encourage you to contact Mercury.

 

Johnson and Evinrude Model year codes
 Johnson outboards prior to 1969-1980.  The year is in the Model number (not the serial number) Example: Johnson 1969 115hp = J115EL69S.
 The number highlighted here in red is the year.

Evinrude outboards 1969-1980.  The model year is in the Model number as the first digit after the horsepower.  Example: Evinrude 1975 75hp=E75543B.  In this instance the red “5” is the model year.

Johnson/Evinrude outboards from 1981 forward uses a two letter code  derived from the word Introduces to establish the model year.  See matrix below.

Please note:  Honda outboard model numbers and serial numbers do not provide model year information.  There is nothing on the motor that will provide the model year of the engine.  Please do not email us requesting model year information as we are unable to provide any method of indicating the model year. Honda has determined that you do not need that information. (See Yamaha and Mercury.)
