Sorry Dude11, But the system I use doesn't show any information on the Yamaha style engines, Or anything older then 1980ish.
And the other system that I believe some of the other guys use here at iboats is inoperative at this time for some reason, But i'm not positive of this, It just a guess really. Here would have been the website I would have tried to use for you. Heck the link won't even come up any more.

The only thing I could suggest for you at this time is that you start a thread of your own asking for some help with finding your year to your engine.
There are a few really good guys here at iboats that post very informative information here on iboats, So I'm pretty sure that one of them should be able to help you find the information you need about your engine.
For example,
Dunaruna may be able to help you out better then I can. But don't PM him, But you could ask for his help in the title.

Now watch, I'll bet someone else is going to see all of this and they'll give you the info you need before you can post a new thread, lol.

Oh well, Good luck with it Dude.
