I recently purchased a 9.9hp Evinrude High Thrust long shaft 4 Stroke o/b. <br /><br />I am trying to work out what year it is and also model number and serial number if possible.<br /><br />I believe that it is supposed to have a plate with serial and model number affixed to the port side clamp bracket - it hasn't. <br /><br />Is there any other method of identifying the motor. It appears to be the 305cc type as it uses 6 nuts and bolts to hold the oil pump to the midsection. (not 4 as in the 211cc)<br /><br />Are there any differences between '97, '98, '99, 2000, 2001 models.<br /><br />Aussie Kel
