Hello All,

I bought a new (old) boat and I would like to identify the out drive and engine I have. I know that it it a Mercruiser, but what model? and does anyone know what motor this is? The out drive says 120 / 140 but are there different models?

Here are some pictures.

Thanks
Bill

Re: New Boat and I want to identify parts.

Fishmark,

It looks like I have an 888 but I am unsure though as the serial #'s seem to be inline. Mine is 3564352 and it does have the hump on the top plate. But the pictures of the Pre-Alpha or "R" outdrive look good but does nothing to reference the 888.

http://www.mercstuff.com/drive_idprealpha.htm

Do you know of a place that has the same info as the link you posted for the engine? It has a Mercruiser tag on the rear right with the # 3332442.

Thanks So much for the help. It is getting me started to identify what I have.

BTW ... The year and make of the boat is 1972 Silverliner 17 T Comoro I/O

;)

Re: New Boat and I want to identify parts.

I am fairly sure that your engine is the 3 liter since it is a 140. The 2.5 liter was only advertised as the 120.

If I'm not mistaken, the 888 was the Ford 302 V-8 engine.... which you do not have. ;)

Re: New Boat and I want to identify parts.

someone took care of that one for sure.really pristine condition with what i can see was not run in salt water.i don't like that inline fuel filter.that is a 3l.its what is sometimes called a iron duke, inline 4 cylinder.get a manual.if u take care of it will run forever and outlive the hull.

I had what was known as a Mercruiser "888" it was a 302 Ford V8 with a 2bbl 188hp. You have what looks to be a 140hp Mercuiser.

Your stern dive looks like a mercruiser #1 120/140 pre alpha. The engine looks like a 140.

Re: New Boat and I want to identify parts.

Hello again guy's,

Well it's been a while since my last post and I am ready to begin this beast of a project. Someone sent me a link for the manuals that were down loadable last year or so ago and it seems that all the manuals I had down loaded for the motor and out drive were lost in my hard drive crash. :(

Does anyone have the links to the manuals for my motor and out drive?
