I have a Japanese Mariner. I'm trying to find out the year model and where to buy parts for these motors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Model 30M
Code 689S
Serial Number 028642

So I'll give what all the numbers break out to:

30 - horsepower
M - manual (rope) start model (so wasn't electric from factory even if it is now)

689 - Yamaha code that tells you it's a clone (mechanically identical) to a Yamaha model 30AM built between 1979 and 1985.
S - short shaft (15" transom)

028642 - is the actual "serial" that indicates it was produced "for Merc" in 1986 - so a year after Yamaha discontinued the model themselves.
