115 hp. two stroke inline 6 cyl.,, says oil injection on the side of the motor, according to everything I've read, the id tag is on the transom mount,, found it OK,, but all it has on the tag is the serial # which is 08381445, no year #,,, the tag is clear, no scratches is what I'm saying,, is there any other place on the motor that will tell me what year it is, I'm trying to get me a OEM manual for it.

Re: serial number and year?

Are you sure of the s/n? Beginning with an 8 means it is Australian built. However if it were actually a B instead of an 8, it would come up as:

MERCURY - (115 H.P. (1988 ))
Serial No: 0B381445 Model No: 1115452BD

By golly, I believe you nailed it, that would be the approx. year of the motor I think,,, I bet that is a "B" instead of a "8".
Thanks for your time,:)
