The model/serial number should be on the transom clamp on a sticker or on a silver core plug, about the size of a quarter, on the power head.

Nothing on the transom clamp..The numbers on the silver core plug dont work..The is one letter with the rest numbers?

One letter and the rest are numbers?

That is the serial number. The "M" stands for OMC.
If it is really a 2002 Johnson 50hp, then the model number would be J50PL4SNF if it is a 4-stroke, and J50PLSNF if it is a 2-stroke

Looks like a serial number.

There is no VIN for an outboard. There is only the serial number, and the serial number for your motor is 4864328.

So how do i find out what year it is? I cant find any other numbers on this motor..

Re: can not find vin?

Years ago, if you had the serial number, you could call the manufacturer and they could give you the year using the serial number. Might be worth a try.

call Evinrude customer service with the disc number. I did and they were able to tell me my model # from that. Dealers could not help me. Best of luck. Rick.

By the way - that "M" on all your parts is actually an OMC casting logo - you'll note that it is an M inside of a circle - stands for Outboard Marine...
