Hey Warnie100,

There should be a small sticker/tag stuck to the clamp bracket that states a model and serial number. It is the model number that they (OMC) uses to identify the year model. If it is prior to 1980 the model number will generally contain the year in it, post 1980 they use a system they called Introduces. If you can post the model number I can let you know what it is.

Cheers
