Year of outboard

Evening everyone,can someone please tell me wot the numbers and letters mean on my engine plate :woohoo:

25VM is the engine model, in this case 25 for 25HP. M means manual tilt and start, but I'm not sure about VM. If I was to guess about the V I'd say it'd be something to do with ignition, but I'm not exactly sure. 61R is the year number, in this case 1993, and L means long shaft. The last number would be the serial number of the engine.
