For example, a 1999 mode would show xxxxxEEx. The EE is 99 or 1999. This is only for a 1980 model year or after 1980. [links]

Find the serial number or code number. It will be found on the nameplate located on the outboard itself, on the mounting bracket or on the silver core plug on top of the power head. Remove the cowling by lifting the release levers found on each side or front and rear of the outboard to find the core plug. The serial number is typically a mixture of letters and numbers or a series of letters alone. Write the number down. more
Trying to figure out what the year is of your Johnson outboard can be a frustrating but not impossible task. The year is in code on the Johnson outboards as well as the Johnson Evinrude outboards. Johnson and Evinrude are two of the oldest American made outboards. Invented in the early 1900s, the two companies joined together under the OMC brand (Outboard and Marine Manufacturing Co.) in 1935. They then became part of the Bombardier company. The year is encrypted in the serial number or model number on almost any Johnson outboard. From 1980 to present the year is coded in the serial number. If the Johnson or Johnson Evinrude is older then 1980, you can find the year of the outboard using one of several methods.
Decode the number. The number to the far right is the model run or suffix. The next two letters to the left are the part of the code that determine the year. Johnson Evinrude uses a simple code if the outboard is a 1980 to the present model. It is INTRODUCES. I=1, N=2,T=3,R=4,O=5,D=6,U=7,C=8,E=9,S=0.
Decode for an earlier model, if the INTRODUCES code is not fitting. From 1969 to 1980, the year is in the model number by year. For example, a 1976 outboard has a 76 in its model or serial number, such as xxxx76x. [links]
Find the right side of the motor by looking from the rear of your outboard with the propeller end pointing toward you. here
Locate the serial number plate by looking on your motor's transom bracket; the plate will have "Mercury Marine" written on the top. The serial number is the top number on the plate. The number directly beneath this is the year it was manufactured. If the year is not readable, proceed to Step 3. [links]
Identifying the year of your Mercury outboard can be essential for obtaining the proper parts when you want to rebuild, service or modify your motor. You can find this information by locating the serial number plate on your outboard. here
Find the year of your motor on the Mercury outboard chart at a website such as Max Tech Marine (see Resources). Select your outboard's horsepower and click on the link to the appropriate chart. Find the section of the chart that corresponds to your outboard's horsepower. Compare the serial number on your outboard to the numbers on the chart and find the two serial numbers between which your serial number lies. The year your outboard was manufactured will be the year displayed with the lower of the two numbers. more
One point many owners have emphasized is the relatively low maintenance that Johnsons require.
In 1949, Johnson introduced its revolutionary Sea Horse motor, which incorporated many features that are standard on outboards today.
This was especially the case in the 2000s when they were delineated by horsepower.
It is easy to find claims by owners of leaving the engine sitting over the winter and starting on the first pull of the spring.
Johnson has changed how they indicate year in the model number several times. Depending on the year range your motor falls into, you will find your Johnson engine year information differently.
With Yamaha model numbers, the last letter indicates the year. here
