Mariner serial number chart September 23rd, 2009, 04:45 PM For you guys looking to see what year your Mariner is or all other outboard brands this is what I came up with. Yamaha outboards manufactured between 1984-2004: you must first locate the Model Number located on a label on the outboard’s transom bracket. The top number is the model number. What you are looking for is the last letter in that model number. A Mercury Marine engine serial number is a unique identifier all engines are manufactured with. The engine serial number is the key to efficient repair and ordering the correct parts. Hi all, I'm looking at a totally basterdised Whaler 13. The hull was built in 1964 and the interior is from an [c.1980] 13-footer. I'm having a hard time deciphering the year of the [Yamaha] engine, model number 40ELF, serial number 6h4l417275. That serial number wont be in the U S system. A dealer on your side of the world would have to look it up Fellow G-Man of the Sunshine Syndicate-Dixie Wrecked Chaptor.

South Carolina, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah require a 'model year' when registering or titling your outboard motor. Yamaha, like Mercury Marine, has eliminated the 'model year.' Though Yamaha no longer associates a production year with a model, you'll know your outboard's model and the year in which your outboard was produced. All of the six states, with the exception of South Carolina -- which uses the 'manufacture date' from the manufacturer's statement of origin -- accept the 'year built' on the motor.

Look on your motor's registration. It may display the year and model, particularly if the motor was previously registered or titled in one of the six states that require a title and registration for outboard motors.

Look at the manufacturer's statement of origin (MSO). Yamaha provides an MSO with every new motor. Both the motor's model and the year built are part of this form.

Call the titling/registration office to familiarize yourself with the information needed. Look on the starboard (right) side of the motor bracket to find the MSO placard; both the model and year of production are stamped into the placard.

When you look on the motor mounting bracket of your Evinrude, you find a metallic, embossed tag with the name 'Evinrude' prominently featured, along with a variety of information on your motor and finally, the motor's serial number. The serial number tells you if the motor was built for the American market, the horsepower, the options it's supposed to have, the length of the driveshaft in the lower unit and what year it was made.

Step 1

Look at the first digit. If it's a letter other than 'J' or 'E,' it's a model variation built for a boat builder to include in a boat 'package.' This also indicates it could be a variation built for a country other than the United States.

Step 2

Move to the next group of digits a set of two or three numbers that tells you the horsepower.

Step 3

Examine the next group of two or three letters that identify the trim on the basic motor. Some examples are 'FRE' for Four-stroke Remote Electric-start or 'TE' for Tiller, Electric.

Step 4

Shift to the next group, a single letter that appears appended to the trim code. If there are only numbers after the three-letter trim code, your motor has a short driveshaft, likely 15 inches in length. If there is a letter: 'L' represents a 17-inch driveshaft; 'Y' stands for a 19-inch driveshaft; 'X' is a 20-inch driveshaft; and 'Z' is a 22-inch driveshaft.

Remember the word 'Introduces.' The next two letters are a simple substitution cipher using that word as its key to identify the year of production. 'I' denotes 1. 'N' equals 2. 'T' stands for 3. 'R' means 4. 'O' stands for 5. 'D' represents 6. 'U' means 7. 'C' stands for 8. 'E' represents 9 and 'S' denotes 0. If that two letter group is 'CE,' it means your motor was built in 1989 since 'C' stands for 8 and 'E' stands for 9.
