I believe that is the correct engine year. May be an 02- just don't have the boat handy to look at the motor. The problem is this - every year we have to clean out the lower carb that gets mucked up before the engine will run properly. Sometimes even a cleaning during the season. Some have said to remove oil injection and do a straight gas and oil mix. Has Yamaha had an issue with this engine clogging the lower carb - or are we not doing a proper clean after using the motor? How should we run this engine clean to prevent this issue?
