What model year is my 40 hp Mariner?

[cottonfluff]

I think my 40 hp mariner is a mid to late 80s model but I'm not sure. Its a Japanese made mariner 40E, serial #6E9 L 407160. I'm having trouble trying to find this out. Can anyone help me out? Thanks

It should be a electric long shaft built in 1982
