You are looking for a 7 digit number starting with either 1, B or C, assmuing this is a US made motor. I have seen a single digit prefix before this number.
There could be a plate/sticker on the mount, also on the side of the carb is a little shiny disc, either of these two places will have it.

Default Re: What year is my 2 Stroke Mercury serial (407828)

I bought a 7.5 2 stroke Merc (407828) for my sailboat. It has been sitting in a shop for 10 years and not started. What years is the outboard? What should I do before starting it so nothing gets damaged?
