I posted a cry for help a few months ago ( (read here) ), and now, iv'e found more info. <br />I hope someone can help me figure out the year, and how i can get service/repair/owners manuals for this 300HP Johnsson.<br /><br />On the back of the engine there is an aluminum plate that reads G2283685. I've been told that if someone has access to "OMNI", Bombardiers' on-line dealer access they can tell me the year of the engine?<br /><br />I was or so told that "The model/serial was originally on a sticker on the swivel bracket and is easily damaged". I can't find a sticker like that:-(... But on the side of the engine I’ve found the following number stamped: "300 (1)87491" where the "300" is offset to the rest, almost written below and under the other numbers. I'm in doubt if there is a "1" written, it is very hard to see, therefore the parenthesis...<br /><br />Hope you can help;<br />Thank you in advance!<br /><br />Martin

Could you refer to the hole, in where the aluminum plate is located?... all it reads is "G2283685" these numbers are stamped into the plate that sits about a cm. inside the hole... and there is at blue M printed over the numbers...

I think that G2283685 is the serial number of the engine, There should be a model number with the serial number, but sometimes the model number did not get stamped, and powerheads replaced under warranty did not have model number. Someone should be able to id the engine with that number. Model year 1990 was first year for a tilt and trim switch located on the lower engine cowling.
