Welcome.<br />You are going to need the serial number, not the model number.<br />It should look similar to this, 0G760300<br /><br />Then you have to look the number up in a chart.<br />Some members here have them, so post it here.

Hello,<br /><br />Thank you.<br />It is the chart that I would like. <br />I can have most of the charts of many kinds of motors on Internet but I can not find it for Mercury 8HP 1996 to 2004.<br />I need it because I am going to buy a used one (on the road) and i do not have the serial number yet!<br />Is there any chart on the Internet?

Go to maxrules.com and click the Mercury link. You'll find the info you need...in a printable form, if I'm not mistaken.

I dunno, then. That's the source I know of for Mercury serial numbers.

I found a picture of an 1993 Mercury 8hp wich is the same as the motor I am looking for (serial 0A757634) can I be sure that it is in fact a 1993?
