How to tell how old my motor is?

[stack08]

force 125
i need to get parts and don't know exact year..the boat is 1990(hull)
I found some numbers on the front-top side of the motor and i don't know if this will tell the age. 1258F9E right under that ingraved in the motor was another number 422 91

At the bottom i found another m630 86

1258F9E
........^..

the "9" means 1989

the "e" is the version

So you have a 1989-E
