The WESTERBEKE engine serial number is an alphanu-
meric number that can assist in determining the date of man-
ufacture of your WESTERBEKE engine. The manufacturer's
date code is placed at the end of the engine serial number and
consists of a character followed by three numbers. The char-
acter indicates the decade (A=1960s, B=1970s, C=1980s,
D=1990s), the first number represents the year in the decade,
and the second and third numbers represent the month of
manufacture.
