Re: what year is this johnson 225hp
That is not a model number to a 225hp Evinrude/Johnson. The proper number would start out with something like J225SLES, J225PLES, J225TLES.<br /><br />It should be on the top portion of the swivel bracket, between the bracket and the engine, and also on a core plug (looks like a quarter size freeze out plug) on the center top portion of the exhaust baffle section (between the cylinder heads).
