Boat motor year

Anybody know where or how to find out? I have a 30 hp johnson i think is 88 but not sure. Where on the motoer does it tell? I haven't found it yet and need to buy carb replacement parts and need the year.

You bet!!

On the brace that sits on the transom, should be a small ID plate with the model and serial numbers.

Once you have the model number, click here:

Johnson Outboard Motor model numbers and code

According to their guide for Johnson's 1980 to present, this is how you tell:

Hope that helps... good luck!

I cannot guarantee that this is true for all motors but for my two old Johnsons the year they were manufactured is stamped on the "C Clamp Transom Bracket." In the first picture look in the area of the yellow circle and the second picture is a close up that shows this motor was made in 83.
