You can determine the year of manufacture of a Yamaha F115 outboard by checking the model code printed on the nameplate (usually found on the mounting bracket or transom clamp area). The key detail is the last letter of the model number — this represents the year of manufacture according to Yamaha's model year code system.
For example:
- F115TXRD → The “D” at the end means 2005
- F115TLR → The “R” means 2002
Yamaha uses a letter code to identify model years, and it doesn’t always align with the calendar year — some letters are skipped (like “I”, “O”, “Q”, “U”, “Z”). So it’s best to refer to a Yamaha model year chart to decode it accurately.
