Yamaha 130 BETO ID

[Johnny Otter]

Hi all, a friend of mine has just bought a new boat with a Yamaha 130 outboard on it. The code he has given me off the engine is:
Yamaha 130 BETO, 6L1, UL, 703828, Y

Can somebody give me a link to the codes, or even better, give me some details.
Many thanks,
John

try www.marinshopen.se then click on the modelguide then Yamaha...it's a good guide for foreign engines

Thanks for the link. I was not aware that the engine was foreign! Which part of the code relates to that?
I'll work my way through the page, although I have to say my Swedish is not the best!
Regards
John

the BETO and the 6L1 tell the tale !

Aha! Scrolled through the site and found the 6L1 BETO 130, stating that the engine series is from 1990 onwards.
Does the rest of the code give an actual year of manufacture?
Thanks again for the help,
Regards
John
