There is another date stamp

I was just looking through yahmaha's web page and found this. Hopefully this is what you need.

Here is what they have to say.

How will I know when my outboard was produced?

All Yamaha outboards have and will continue to have a production date on the unit. A permanent appliqué is located on the starboard side of the outboard mounting bracket. The appliqué is stamped with the month/year of production for that outboard (ex. 04/06).

here is the linkhttp://www.yamaha-motor.com/outboard/events/dynamicevent/2/590/questions_and_answers_about_model_year_elimination.aspx

 

something that gives some engine facts about your motor

This isn't the year but it gives a little helpfull information about your moter.
