How can you tell what year my Johnson 6 hp is? Long shaft or short shaft?

Looks to be a 1989 model. To determine shaft length just measure from the top of the transom to the A/V plate.

The "L" in the model number says it is a long (20") shaft.

CE tells you that by numbering the letters in the word "introduces".
