Identifying my Yamaha Outboard

[YamahaOrmen]

Hello!

Me and my 3 brothers recently bought an rowboat paired with a 6hp yamaha outboard. We have ran this setup for two seasons now, without changing the impeller or spark plugs. I feel like it's time to do this change now. The hard part is figuring out what model our motor is. I've taken a picture of the "identification badge" on the motor, but I haven't found any reliable site to help me with the identification of this engine. I would appreciate it if any of you could help me do this. I will attach a picture of the badge in this post. Please get back to me as soon as possible with as much information about engine model and year of production as possible.

Thank you!

I live in sweden. Do you know any good sites where I can buy both impeller and spark plugs within EU?

I am way over here in the colonies. Any Yamaha outboard motor dealer in your area should be able to get you the parts that you need.

The spark plug shown is an NGK B7HS-10. You might be able to find this plug in an auto parts store. Double check the number on your old plugs, just to be safe.

How do you tell what year your Yamaha outboard motor is

How do you tell what year your Yamaha outboard motor is

Usually by looking at a decal on the side of the motor that gives the month and year of production.
