Panther<br /><br />Cannot find a year with those numbers. Need the Model number to do any good. Is this a newer Motor(1980 on) or older? 1980 and on will have a number similar to this: E50TLCS with the CS denoting the year. Before 1980 it will look something like this: 50443,50514, Ect. See if you can come up with more numbers and I'm sure someone will figure it out.

Re: What year this engine

i think it is older than 1980 looking at the photosbut they dont know where to find the numbers and those where all they found do you know where to look ? also do you know the formula for older engines ? i have the formula for after 1980 but not before

Re: What year this engine

Look Here and click on Modellguide at the top of the page. This should help. Numbers will be on the transom bracket(Bracket that the Motor Mounts to the boat with) or on a silver recessed plug on the engine powerhead. The plug is about the size of a quarter.
