Can't find out what year this engine is. Serial # is 8070187 ,everywhere I looked don't show it. Cover says Mercury 150, and it's a v-6. It's supposed to be a 150hp.

It's a early 80s engine built in Australia, there are hard to track down if he don't see your post. PM Dunaruna I believe he has a list from down under.

I'm a little surprised that an aussie built merc found it's way to the U.S.

The 2.0L V6 began production in 1978 (in the U.S and Aus), the nearest serial number I can find is 805xxxx but it is for an inline 6 (tower of power). My best guess is that your motor is a 1980/81 model. Sorry I cannot get any closer than that.

BTW, the U.S. 2.0L and the aussie 2.0L are identical, parts are the same.

P.S - Due to technical difficulties, I cannot respond via PM.
