Re: 175 hp Evinrude year
N.J...... OMC's code is the word "INTRODUCES" whereas every letter stands for a number such as:<br /><br />I=1, N=2, T=3, etc etc (You get the idea).<br /><br />It is not the serial number that tells the tale, it is the "Model" number that you want to see.<br /><br />The Evinrude 175hp model numbers start out with something like E175STLCEB or E175TXLCE, something of that nature. Within the model number, look for the letters that would be within the word "INTRODUCES".<br /><br />Notice that within the model numbers I listed above, the only two letters that are next to each other that would be contained in OMC's code are the two letters "CE", which would stand for "89" (1989). If you're uncertain about deciphering the model number, let us know what it is and we'll do it for you.
