How to Find Yamaha Outboard Year and Model Number
Whenever you need to service or repair your Yamaha outboard, you need to make sure you order the correct parts for your specific model.
Yamaha has manufactured thousands of outboard models, so you’ll need to know how to find your engine’s exact year and model number to buy the right parts for your Yamaha engine. Watch the video above or read on below to learn how to find the serial number on a Yamaha outboard.
Yamaha Outboard ID Plate
To find your Yamaha outboard’s year and model number, locate the identification plate or sticker on the transom mounting bracket.
The ID plate/sticker should be somewhere above the waterline on either the port or starboard side of the bracket. Take a picture of your outboard’s ID plate/sticker, or write down the ID’s information so you can quickly reference it whenever you need replacement parts for your Yamaha outboard.
The number at the top right is the Yamaha model number and year. The number denotes the outboard’s HP, and the last letter denotes the outboard’s year of manufacture.
- In the picture above, the F225TXRC outboard’s 225 means it’s 225HP and it was manufactured in 2004.
- The number at the middle left is the prefix model code. In our example it’s 69J.
- The letter in the middle is the driveshaft length - S, L, X or U. In our example, it’s X.
- The number at the middle right is the serial number. In our example, it’s 1008356.
