I just picked up a 35hp Mercury and would like to know what model it is and the age so I can dig up some manuals for it. The serial number appears to start with a 0, the rest is M730282. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks.

Re: 35hp Mercury Age?

The numbers don't look right.
However, they made two 35's....in the 60's and in the mid/late 80's.
This should narrow it down as far as a manual.

In case you have trouble identifying...

The older model most likely has a Keikhaufer plate on the front of the motor, the choke know protrudes through the top of the cowl, it has a handle on the front/top of the cowl, and the harness connects externally on the left side facing the front of the motor.

The later model is the same as the 40 hp made in the 70's.

Thanks for help. I seem to have it narrowed down to the late eighties so you're right on the mark. I appreciate the help.
