Re: I NEED HELP!

Ahoy, Johnnyrocker. Don't get excited, it's an easy fix.<br /><br />On your transom mount is a plate with the model number. Yours will be 115T*R**.<br /><br />The 115 is for the hp. The T is for 2 stroke. The first asterisk will be a L or an X, which codes the shaft length. L=20", X=25". The R is for right hand rotation gearcase. The last letter is a year code. <br /><br />My Yammy is a 130TXRQ. 130hp, "X" shaft, "R" gearcase, "Q" 1992. An "R" year would be a 1993, etc., (up to "Z" 2001? I don't know where they will go next.)<br /><br />When you have it figured out, go to the nada site and see if they list your model number for that year.<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB :)

Look on the transom bracket and give me the serial number and I can tell you the year.

Ahoy Trent. Did I do all that explaining for nothing? What is Johnnyrocker going to learn about his engine by letting you do all the work?. . .Year?, and what else?<br /><br />Is there some error in my explanation?<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB :)

Hey, Johnnyrocker! I made an error.<br /><br />In your model number: 115TXR*, the "T" indicates that it has power Tilt and Trim. <br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB :)
