Welcome
Drives that old have next to no records for the actual drives
The 228/228R were manufactured 1978-1982
Serial numbers rage 4898730 THRU 6225576

Woops my bad, I was thinking drive not motor, by FT has it

0M071173 comes up as an MERCRUISER 5.7L ALPHA ENGINE ONLY model number 4311225N1.


That serial number should make the engine right around the 2002-03 ish era…

Maybe @Yegboats can confirm the year.
