I was trying to find the year of a Yamaha the other day.
I was on boats.net, and their listing is by model#, but you need the year which I didn't have.

Even on Yamaha website, you can find it by model BUT it still doesn't show the year.

I emailed boats.net and was sent this link.

Using the actual VIN of the engine, which is right below the model#, you can easily use the chart finding the 10th digit.
Just remember, every 30 years the 10th digit gets reused.

I was looking up 6BXS1024286, which turns out to be a 2008.
 
If information was obtained from webbikeworld, perhaps Yamaha outboard motors are being confused with Yamaha motor cycles.

Yamaha outboard motors don't have VIN's. They have what Yamaha refers to as a Primary Identification Identity. PID.

The PID is comprised of three fields. First field is the model code. Second field is the shaft length. Third field is the serial number.
