There will be a small plate on the port transom bracket (bkt that clamps eng to boat). The model and serial number will be imprinted on that plate. There may also be a core plug on the engine block (core plug looks like a small quarter size freeze out plug) with those same two numbers. The model number is what's needed to ID the engine.
