Identifying Yamaha 6HP

[Point Ed]

Just bought a sailboat with a Yamaha auxliary O/B. Not much water coming from telltale. Before tackling an overhaul wondered if someone could help me with the year. Yamaha plate says: 6CM 6H6 S 012342. Anyone crack the code?<br />Thanks,<br />Ed

So far it seems to be 1983-1989 but can anyone give more precise info?<br />Thanks a lot - Ed

I think it's a 1987 model.<br />1987 starts from 6H6S-010667
