1966 Mercury 650 help with Upper Cowl Part #

[Psiclown]

I need an upper cowl for my 66 Merc 650 and found one on Ebay with the part #:

2114 - 3591 49448

The guy doesn't know what year the motor is that it came off of. I did some reseaarch and I think this part # is off a 1968. I need to know if this will fit my 66. Can anyone hook me up?

Thanks guys.

A 68 model comes up as a model 1650108:

1650108 MERCURY 1968 65

Parts Listing:

The 66 uses a 2114-3806
The 68 uses a 2114-3806A1

2114 - 3591 49448: The 2114-3591 precedes the 2114-3806, see here, first line:

If it were mine, I would probably go for it on the condition, that if it didn't fit, I could return it.

Thanks for this Carholme. I wonder what that A1 means. Maybe a pull start option or something. I would have to pay for shipping twice if it didn't match up and that would be $40 which is more than the part costs. I'll try calling perfprotech to see if they can shed some light on the subject.

Thanks again.

Just found a different one for $35 w/o shipping that matches the year.
