Hi Everyone.
I'm kinda a noob with boat engines (car engines i know) and need help identifying my engine year and exact model. Hopefully i'm doing this right. I've read a number of pages for previous posts & been on so many sites but didn't find an answer to my question. I've been looking at threads from a lot of forums trying to get a 100% answer on the model of my engine but without a serial # i'm making very little progress.
The serial number plate is missing and I've looked at a number of sites to narrow it down based on the fact that its a 140HP inline 6 engine but have been unsuccessful. Hopefully you may be able to help if i give you some details about what i do know. Any help is appreciated
I "think" its a 1979 model. The engine covers state it's a Mercury Kiekhaefer Thunderbolt Ignition 140hp. It's a triple carby inline 6.
The numbers on the engine are as follows
Cylinder Block - 852-4880
Head - 948-6262. Engraved into the one of the brackets from the head to the dizzy are the numbers 8003183
Carby - Mercarb 1399-1930 & 1399-4664 & WMK9
Starter motor - 5057465
Fuel pump - 66529 (aftermarket as far as i can tell)
I'm going to try attach some pics. Hopefully it works. Again i appreciate any help Thanks
