Can anyone tell what year this motor is by the graphics on the lid? The motor is not with me now. Thanks for any info.

About a 1992 to 1994. Pics of the lower unit will help narrow it down.
When you can touch it? there's a round foundry stamp with the year in the center, located under the pack and coils or under the bottom carb on the intake.

Thanks for the info., it's on a boat that I'm picking up tomorrow. It has a cracked water pump housing that I have to repair. I only have some pics now.

The Force 120Hp came in 1990 and as it has the Force style LU and not the Mercury style it is an 90-94 year model.
From my experience looking at the decals it is post 1992.
As jerryjerry says look for a foundry stamp at the block, it is like a circle with the year in the center.

Looks like this. This one was behind the CD unit on the block.
