Hi! I have a Mercury 85 motor that I'm told is a 1978. It has a blue stripe on the engine cover. When I was working on the engine I noticed the starter solenoid was dated 1976. I want to buy a manual for repairs but want to make sure I have the right year for the motor. Anything I can look at that will tell me for sure? Thanks for your help in advance!
