First I would like to say hello to everyone. I purchased my first boat early this season and used this forum extensively to find the information I needed for various different things. The time you guys put in here to help others out is great. These forums are a wealth of knowledge.
The boat I purchased is a 1998 Renken 21' Cuddy Cabin. It has a 4.3L Mercruiser with an Alpha One drive. What I'm trying to do is identify which engine I have from the many 4.3L, 4.3LX, 4.3LH, etc. Each time I try to do it myself I come across a chart that shows the serial # ranges, but mine could fit in a couple of those.
Please bear with me, as I'm new to being a boat owner, and though pretty well mechanically inclined, I have a lot more to learn. I'm trying to get there as fast as I can though. I've included the serial #'s of my engine and drive below and I'm hoping if someone can tell me which one I have, and which one of those lovely manuals I found on here that I'm going to need.
Engine: OL062621
