How can I find out what year my yamaha outboard motor is? This is the info off the plate. 15MSHR 684C S 111205

[@partsvu]

Hello Patrick, Thank you for watching our Video. I am showing that a 15MSHR is a 1993. Prior to 2005 Yamaha had a letter assigned to a year. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. We are always here to help!

Hey Alberto, There are several reasons why a Yamaha motor might not turn a propeller, including but not limited to issues with the fuel system, battery, or carburetor: Fuel filter A clogged fuel filter can prevent enough fuel from passing through to turn the engine over. Fuel pump A failing fuel pump can cause vibrations in the engine, especially at higher speeds. Battery A low battery can cause the engine to crank slowly, while a dead battery can prevent it from turning over at all. Use a voltmeter to check the battery's voltage and charge it to around 12.6 volts. Carburetor Carburetor adjustments that are too lean, or that don't allow enough fuel to start the engine, can also be an issue. The carburetor may also need to be cleaned or replaced. If none of these work you should contact your marine mechanic for assistance.
