Model Tag - Protection

[Berdink]

I see so many threads where someone can't figure out the year of their Johnson because the model and serial number tag is missing.
While shopping for a motor, two I went to look at were missing the tag.
.
I just bought me a Johnson, and it still has the tag. It's not a riveted metal tag, it appears to be a sticker.
I'm trying to think of a way to protect so it doesn't come off.
.
Ideas?

Write the numbers inside your owners manual.
Mine even has a page dedicated tfor writing down this info.

Take a couple photos of it.

Maybe print the photo and stick it in your owners manual, or tape it inside the cowl.

Not rocket surgery.

Maybe I'll take the tag off before it falls off and put it in an envelope inside the owners manual.

I took a picture of it. So, yes, I could print it and keep it on the boat in with my other paperwork.
