Merc outdrive identity

rickryder · Mar 29, 2011

Tried to get the numbers off the outdrive but were very hard to read...
Looks like 147R A862374

Is this an Alpha1 gen 2?

I have #6 and #14 service manuals just not sure what on is correct for this unit...

Thanks for any info.

How are the hydraulic rams held on? If they are held on with nuts its a gen 1 if they are held on with C-clips its a gen 2.

The angle of the skeg leads me to believe its a gen 1...

The serial number confirms it's an Alpha I, you need manual #6 for that drive.
