How to Find Yamaha Outboard Parts by Year No two Yamaha outboard models are ever quite the same as each year Yamaha subtly changes and improves its motors. Some outboards may share a few common parts but many of the parts and components in an outboard will be unique to that year's model.

Because of this it is essential you know your outboard's year of manufacture and model name before you start buying replacement parts for it, otherwise there's no guarantee the new parts will fit. Your Yamaha outboard's model name and year of manufacture are stamped on an identification plate that is attached to the transom clamp bracket. At the top of the plate is the outboard's model name comprised of letters and numbers. These digits indicate the outboard's basic engine type, horsepower and variant.
