Re: serialnumber

Any idea what year it is? From the 90's (Mercury), or the 70's (Chrysler)?<br /><br />1990's motors should be dark grey in color.<br />They were made from 1991-1995<br /><br />The only place the serial number appears on that motor is on a small id plate located on the side of the transom mounting bracket. Number should be similar to OE047834.<br /><br />If the id tag does not exist, you can narrow down the year by identifying the type of ignition system.

Re: serialnumber

thanks for the reply, the engine is from 1992,as i have the original papers of the first owner.it is darkgrey/black. sadly i cannot find the serial plate(is it a plate or is it part of the mounting bracket,maybe someone has a picture of it??) i do find several serial nrs. such as:<br />-near the prop:1400-819128 w3 c21d1c <br />-on transom bracket left:819373<br />-on transom bracker right:819374<br />-under engine hood:100-819372 made in usa<br /><br />Is this something to use as serial nr?<br />The serial on the certificate is 019909 but that nr i cannot find anywhere???
