What year is my Honda?

Howdy,

I have a 9.9 Honda SN BABL1203835. What year is it? Thanks!

I too am looking for my motor year. But wouldnt ask anyone to look it up, however a link to the codes would be nice.
my Honda BF8 reads BAAJ 1005321. If I find a link I will post it here.

Okay . Found my year. 2001. I went to the honda site where you can print out or copy to computer the Owners manual for free.
When I found my number, the 2001 manual came up. Here is the link to find out your year and get a free owners manual if you want.

Thanks, sdanville. I was able to use your link to look up my Product Identification Number, but not my Engine Serial Number, which has an extra "E" in it, as seen below.

Product Identification Number: BABJ-1,608,742
Engine Serial Number: BEABJ-1,035,329
Model Number: BF9.9D/10D (SHA)

I also downloaded an Owners Manual. However there was no definitive information about the model year of my engine. The owners manual did have a copyright date of 2009. I guess this tells me that the engine is at least as new as a 2009, wouldn't you agree? How did you figure out your model year?

Thanks,
​Tom
