I am also stuck on the question about model numbers and difference between A11 and M models. Cant find literature anywhere telling me. I also have 1976 omg 980709. That is all that is on the plate on the sterndrive. There is nothing on the engine giving suffix info. Also, from another thread someone said these model numbers are basically useless for finding parts. That its only an internal reference for omc. True? When i try to find parts based on my year and model and horsepower i am presented with 4 model options whuch include an M and A11 (see image) and none of the models presented match the number on the tag. There is nothing on the motor except OMC 190 and a number printed on the intake which from searching has nothing to do with the outdrive. It appears most all of the part numbers are the same no matter which model i select on this particular parts site. But there are a couple parts that require me to know A11 or M. I think maybe it means trim type? But i dont know how to know if i have manual trim or auto? IF thats what it means.
you will see 4 models here when searching by year and HP. Time to start guessing i guess. Please help.
