Would like to find a manual for this outboard and would like to start with deciphering the id plate, mainly for the year. I have done some research but my plate does not have an ID field beside "LTD". Anyone have a guide for this oldie?
Call Yamaha direct and ask them. I called them several times when I was re powering by boat and they were informative and very helpful just like the good old days. For questions regarding your Yamaha Outboard call:
