MartyM:<br />J - Johnson<br />40 - 40hp<br />T - Tilt&trim <br />L - Longshaft (fits a 20" transom)<br />CU - 1987<br />D - Meaningless model run code.<br /><br />The date code works like this:<br /><br />INTRODUCES<br />1234567890<br />So the code 'ES' would be '90: E = 9, S = 0.<br /><br />Hope this helps!
