The last letter of the serial # on the motor bracket is scratched off. It starts with SX200TXR? Is there any other spot this # appears on the motor. I have narrowed it down to a range of years from 99 to 05 but that is as close as I can get. Were there any notable changes to this motor that would help me narrow it down further?
Thanks.

Thanks for having a look however the sx model was not made until 1999. The last letter that indicates the year is missing. The R signifies remote. The ? on the end of my serial # is the missing letter. Thanks for you efforts all the same.

You should have an EPA decal that looks like this

Then just use the first letter from the code is the missing number on your model number.

Any other ideas, this motor does not seem to have an EPA decal. I believe this decal is not required by law on outboards sold in BC. I have been comparing the parts diagrams from the rage of years I believe this motor to be, but can't seem to find any noticeable differences. What parts would have changed between 99 and 05 ? As there does not seem to be many changes it does not really matter exactly what year this motor is. It is now more out of curiosity that I am continuing my search.
