It should have the serial number stamped on it. Model numbers look like "90TLERC" 90 hp, T for trim and tilt L for Long 20" shaft E electric start R for right hand rotation and C for Cross flow? Not positive about the last letter designation. Welcome aboard BTW..

That number breaks down to a 94 with tilt and a 20" shaft. The first numbers will be HP, the next 2 letters will be shaft and tilt designations, the next two letters will be for the year, and the last is normally a model designation if it applies.

The year breakdown goes like this. You take the 2 letters for the year and replace them with the number from the chart and you have the year.
I-1
N-2
T-3
R-4
O-5
D-6
U-7
