I just acquired an old 9.8 HP Kiekhaefer Mercury engine serial # 1694375. Looking for year and parts with a manual. gear shift knob and gear is stripped only allowing forward movement. Anyone out there can direct me would be of great help.

Thanks Backfire, but tried that and Mercury's with Kiekhaefer name on it don't seem to be registeresd as serial number came back no good. Is there a different part of webpage to check for pre 61 merc's
