I have manual for a 03 50 mercury 2 stroke. Will it work on a 09 mercury 50 2 stroke? The dealer said he did not know. He does not know much, but maybe counting money.

Go to Merc Express and put the serial number of your engine in. It should give you a list of manuals for that engine (owners handbook, parts listings, service manual, etc). If the part number of the manual is the same as your 03 manual, then it'll be the right manual....

Hey Chris, am I too stupid to use Merc Express? When I go there, click on look up parts by serial #, it brings up a screen that wants you to pick a type of motor, model, etc. I don't see old merc motors listed?? And when I put my serial # in the box there, it just says enter serial # again, like I put the wrong one in??
Here's where I was:
http://www.mercurypartsexpress.com/us/
Is that the wrong site?

And here is my serial #: 3721711
I looked on the sticky, and if I am right, this is a 73 model. Merc 500 50 HP

I can't even get into Merc Express now (used to be able to) because I'm in Australia... They lock out other countries so the dealers in those countries don't get undercut. I only know how it works because I remember it from a couple of years ago.

I suspect your engine is too old to be on there system now. Try www.mercruiserparts.com

Thanks a lot Chris!

If you have time, will you look at my thread about the forward/reverse issue? I was asking about what I need to do the job correctly.

Thanks again!

The reason the mercury parts express system does not work for your engine is because the system does not recognise your engine serial number (3721711) Because it's either going to be to old or the engine was made outside of the USA.;)

So using the serial number trick will not work for your engine, You will need to go by the horsepower and sometimes by the year to find your parts.;)

Have a look here, This should get you close for a starting point, Good luck.
