Everyday our staff deal with customers on the phone or over the counter regarding spare parts and the first thing we need to do is correctly identify your outboard. Yamaha outboards are fitted with an identification plate see main picture on the port side engine mount bracket; this is the bracket that mounts the outboard to the transom of your boat. The outboard plate displays the model code, shaft length, serial number and older models also a quick reference letter that reflects 'production year' reference.

Your serial number or model number can be found on the engine's mid-section. Often this plate is also marked with the engine's year too. Johnson has changed how they indicate year in the model number several times. Depending on the year range your motor falls into, you will find your Johnson engine year information differently. If your serial number is not found, you can use the product navigation folders on the left to find your engine model.

Outboard Model Year Question:. How does model year elimination affect the resale value of my outboard? Fortunately, the manufacturer's warranty will cover even older engines of the same model, but buyers should verify how many hours are on an engine before buying it.
Manufacturers say that depreciation should not be an issue on two identical engines of the same model, regardless of age, but most buyers want the newest one available, and an older engine, even if it's indistinguishable from a newer one, is typically worth less to a first or second buyer. The good news for consumers is that while outboard engines may not have model years, it's possible to find out when the engine was made.
In recent years, a permanent sticker typically can be found on the transom bracket, usually near the serial-number sticker, that gives the month and year of engine manufacture. As a buyer, you can negotiate for the newest engine — or for a discounted older one — if you know what to look for.
