6501 306895<br />------------<br />Hi,<br />"Newer" Suzuki model year is determined this way:<br /><br />In a serial number like Your Suzuki DT65 that has 6501 306895 it is like this:<br />the "3" = the year it was made (1983, 1993),<br />the following numbers 06895 = the "engine number".<br /><br />For "older" Suzuki outboards:<br /><br />Between 1975 and 1979 the year is determined by "year-letter" before the engine number this way:<br />A=1975, B=1976, C=1977, D=1978, F=1979<br /><br />Your engine is made in 1983 or 1993. <br /><br />Also the color of a later Suzuki outboard will help tell what year it may be made:<br /><br />Blue outboard: 1980-1982<br />Light grey(almost silver)outboard: 1983-1988<br />Grey (towards slightly green) outboard: 1989-1996<br /><br />/Bo
