    I was able to get info on my Evinrude by talking to a local dealer who delt with that type of motor.
    If I remember right on the Evinrudes the letters in the model # refrence the year of the motor and so on.
    It was posted in the forums somewhere last year but I wouldnt even know where to start looking now.

    OMC(Johnson/Evinrude)used the following for many years;
    INTRODUCES
    1234567890.
    The last two letters is the year of manufacture.Maybe BMC uses the same?
    Mercury/Mariner did have the date on serial#tag on later models.You can go to their website and type in serial#(Parts Express).
    Yamaha is the last letter in model designation.Start with “C”(2004)and read reverse.

    If the serial tag is missing,the serial# will be stamped on the powerhead.If that is altered/missing,motor is probably stolen.Friend of mine got one like that on ebay a few years back.I went to replace waterpump and could not find a serial#.Did a guesstimate on year,and it did work.

    Hope that helps.
