I have two Force outboards I'd appreciate finding out the date of manufacture on both.

the little one (might be a 2.5hp not sure, if someone knows would be great) needs a new piston ring I have looked on here but can't identify which i need (if its even on here)...

The little one..









The 85

The 85HP is a 1988 "B" model which corresponds to the H0858F88B. Not sure about the small one.

The little one "might" be as big as a3.5 4 or 5hp.
Looked all over and didn't find anything smaller.
The color and shape make it at least an 87 or newer???
On the motor somewhere is a foundry stamp with the year cast in the center of the mark.

Great, thanks for that is it the 8F8 portion if the serial which signifys the year? Regarding the little one there seems to be as very similar design to several others made by mercury and mariner, which seem to be around the 2.5hp mark. I'll have a look for the foundry mark and report back...
