I recently inherited a boat and I've been looking for a couple days now and can't seem to find anything on the motor I have. 20160726_184430.jpg

Hi, welcome to iboats!

If the serial number is 0B174988 (hard to make out clearly) it's coming up as an
MERCURY
1987
90 HP ELPTO
model number 1090727
If the number is 0B174888 it's coming up as a 1987 MERCURY 70 HP ELPTO

What do you think the number reads? And what HP do you believe it to be?

Oh, is this a 3 cylinder or an inline 6?

I just got the boat and as it's my first boat I have no idea as what I'm doing. Hoping to find a manual and start there. I'll post better pictures when I get them, I honestly thought it was 08174668, so I'm way off. That picture has the contrast and clarity increased to make it legible and looks better than it does in person.

Actually most of that number gets you much closer to being correct as far as it coming up as a Mercury engine model like I posted above to a Mariner engine model like it actually is.... 0B174668 is now showing up as an 1987 MARINER 90 HP ELPTO model number 7090727 (3 CYLINDER). 08 doesn't come up as anything.

Here's iboats parts catalog for you http://www.iboats.com/MARINER-90-HP-...iew_id.1698554 .... But since iboats is missing the images, here's someone else's parts guide with images of the parts in order to compare them to. Service manual is Mercury part number 90-13645--2 as it covers engines 70/75/75 Marathon/75XD/75 Sea Pro 80/90 (3 Cylinder) 1987 thru 1993 AND 100 & 115 (4 Cylinder) 1988 thru 1993
(U) 0A997142 thru 0D283221 (B) 09502135 thru 09793576 (C) 0A722297 and Above
(U) 0B209468 thru 0D283221 (B) 09523034 thru 09793576 (C) 0A731673 and Above
