OK I have a 150 or a 115 the serial number 7171946. I cant refrence it with anything. It has a 115 cowl with a 150 midsection. I believe it is a CanadIan made so that's why I can't find the number anywhere. Does anyone know where to find the serial number so I can order parts.

Is the engine a Mariner or Mercury? Also is it a 6 cylinder?

Doing a search for the serial number isn't helping as it's coming up to be a 1980 4 HP engine.

Are you sure the 3rd digit is a 7 ?

The closest I come up with is a 1981 115hp.
Serial Range Mercury Outboard 115 (6 CYL.) [ 7147988 THRU 7208847 [CAN] ]

150 midsection.

Do you mean transom bracket? Or the lower cowl says 150? You may have mumblejumble of engine parts. How long have you owned it?
There should be a, what looks a bit like a core plug on the top of the engine. It should have the serial number on it. If there is a number on it and it doesn't match the number on the transom bracket, some parts changing has happened

Inline 6 Merc 115HP and 150HP midsections are the same, as are many other parts (gearcases, ign systems, carbs, charging system, starter cowl supports etc.) The difference is decals, carb jets, block porting and some other items.

The internals of the midsection may be some of the 'others items' that vary. The swivel/transom bracket changed in 1984 on the 115 and 90 motors

I had a 1980 Mariner 90hp I6. The serial number plate was inside on the transom pivot between the big motor clamps.
