60 something 50 hp Four

[DavidD]

I recently aquired a 1960 something Mercury 50hp four. I cannot find a model # on it anywhere. Does anyone have any info on this? It has a 2 blade prop. Motor has nut been run since the early 80's has good compression. Need some parts for it.

Pictures might be a great place to start.

Is there an ID plate?

Why not post the s/n if you have it?

Barring that, and if you are sure it is a 1966, you can determine from these two links which one matches your s/n:
