Where can I find what year my outboard motor was made?

How do you find out what year a motor was made?

• Answer:

  The ID# is stamped on a pad at the front of the block, near the passenger side head. You can write the number down and look for it at Mortec.com. Most Chevrolet engines are listed there. there is a casting number on the block, usually on the side. the casting no. can tell you where ,and when the block was made. you might have to look the no. up in a Chevy casting no. book, or your Chevy dealer might be able to look it up on the computer,if they are willing to spend the time. the casting no. and the ID no. that the above answer talks of are not the same, although they can both give you the info. you want.
