Howdy,

It's really not all that important to know the year model. Mercruiser uses serial numbers to catalog replacement parts so ensure that the serial numbers you have are correct and have a look at the following site.

http://www.dougrussell.com/partscatalog/collections/index.cfm?fuseaction=collectdetails&colid=04

Then just click on each 120 link and find the serial number range that matches yours.

Also, if you're going to do your own work, get yourself an OEM service manual.


regards,


Rick
