------------------------------------------------------------
Your engine will have a model number on it, usually between 8 to 12 digits.
Example: V J 120 T L CE A
Each digit reveals important information for your specific engine.
The year is revealed by using an acronym called "INTRODUCES".
The Model Number Digits identify
STYLE - DESIGN FEATURES - SHAFT LENGTH - YEAR BUILT - SUFFIX/MODEL RUN.
Where to find your model number:
Johnson/Evinrude Outboards:
The model number tag is located on the top outside edge of the CLAMP BRACKET; or, on top of the SWIVEL BRACKET HOUSING (port or starboard). It's usually a metal tag or a sticker. Often there is a quarter size silver piece with numbers stamped on it.
If you're still unable to find a model number on your engine, (sometimes will be worn off or scratched off), there is a silver core plug on top of powerhead with model and serial # or p/n on power pack can help with determining the year.
Also check on the welsh plug (freeze plug) on the block (power head) for numbers/letters. (If powerhead has been rebuilt or replaced this probably won't help you. (Will only reveal the part number of the new, not original powerhead.
