The stencil number should be on the inside of the transom in the center between the engine bolts. You might also look in the forward locker to see if any numbers are there.

I saw it before I headed off to church and was going to call when I returned home but the posting was gone. Everything you will need to know you can find on this site. Just takes a little time to dig for it but thats what makes it fun and addictive. I may have to drop by to see how its going . I am working on a 15 up in Greenville SC. Good luck BG
