Hi, this might help, on the side of the left transom plate, but dont think it tells you the age, Del

Thanks, i have " 220 AETO "

Serial number is : 300797 (Stamped on a coreplug)

roofer · 17-03-2009, 05:36 PM

Serial number should start with a letter.

delboy · 17-03-2009, 09:24 PM

Only my counter clockwise one starts with a letter L for left turning like the L stamped on one of my gear boxes, Del

"N" = 1984, "K" = 1985, J = 1986, H= 1987, G= 1988, F= 1989, D= 1990, P= 1991, Q= 1992, R=1993, S= 1994, T=1995, U=1996 V=1997, W=1998, X= 1999, Y= 2000, Z= 2001, A=2002, B=2003

Should have a preceeding letter though Chris not just a number.

Thanks Gazza will have another look today!, were the 220's an older engine? and are they reliable?

thanks for the help so far guys!

v8. · 18-03-2009, 08:40 PM

Its an " L " .....

gazza · 18-03-2009, 09:35 PM

Yep
220 was an older engine finished about 88, we've got a powerhead in the workshop and yes good units but few issues with boxes although i've never had any issues.

Ours is L 300920 so yours will be an old one as well,

Thanks Gazza, so it would make it an 82 engine?

also any dials / trim ram pls!

notgotaboat · 20-03-2009, 08:22 PM

The L you are looking at refers to the length of the shaft.

The year letter is stamped in the lower part of the ID plate, usually on the black printing bit. Its not at all related to the serial number and it`s kind of hidden and not noticable unless you really look for it. the 220 special was around 86-87 from memory.

I have spare analogue and digital gen Yamaha instruments give me a pm. Do you need the whole trim setup or just a single trim ram (the two trim rams often crack / chip at the top)

,

Year code is STAMPED in the bottom right hand corner of ident plate.
( normally ) not pictured in photo earlier in thread.Yamaha started at
Z and worked backwards, sorry cant remember codes, i think 79 was a T.
They didn't use all years. Ran 2 x 220,s on LPW in late 80's, then 3 x 225's on j&B. Very reliable, computers didn't like vibrations though from solid hubs etc.

delboy · 22-03-2009, 12:13 PM

Hi, i noticed when i changed my engines from the light grey yamahas to the blue yamahas the leads for the dials had different pins on the connections, just thought i would mention this, Del

v8. · 22-03-2009, 11:27 PM

Hi Guys, thanks for posts and P.M's etc, mine has a small "K" on the plate..so that makes her a ...1985?

was the 220 a "Special" then "Notgotaboat"

thanks for info too Gap52, good to hear they was reliable!

Delboy, was the early ones Blue?

P.M. replied to, thanks!

v8. · 27-03-2009, 08:56 PM
