How often have I seen the question and thought, Why don't they just google it? But here I am. A boat mysteriously followed me home on the weekend. At least that what I told the admiral. It has a Merc 402 manufactured by Mercury Canada. I cannot trace the serial number on any site I've looked at. S/N is 7006961 Blue stripe with Thunderbolt ignition. I have a newer Merc 4 stroke with tilt/trim and any older motors I've had has been Johnnyrudes. Where is the manual tilt release on this motor?
