[123andrewk]

Hi,
I have been offered an outboard motor for my boat and wanted to check its age and credentials. Can anyone suggest a website or link that i can put in the outboards make and serial number and get the info.
Thanks in advance
Andy

This site will give you the year.

The iBoats forums that JasB has gien you the link for is an excellent source of help and advice on outboards.
