To determine the year of a Johnson Seahorse model 6R72D based on its serial number, you typically need to refer to the specific serial number charts provided by Johnson or Outboard Motor manufacturers. The "6R" in the model indicates it is a 6 horsepower outboard, and the serial number can help pinpoint the year of manufacture. Generally, Johnson outboards from the 1970s and 1980s have serial numbers that can be decoded to reveal the year. If you have the serial number, you can consult a reference guide or an online database for precise identification.

The model number/designation, for a Johnson outboard, cannot be determined by horsepower rating, or serial number. The model number will be displayed on the serial number tag/sticker, affixed to the engine.
