I am looking for the model year and an owners manual for a Merc 150 Black Max. The serial number is 6465967

Re: Mercury 150 Black Max

That s/n comes up as:

MERCURY - (150 H.P. (1984 ))
Serial No: 06465967 Model No: 1150744

Parts list for model 1150744:

150 H.P. XR-2 MARATHON MAGNUM (V-6) (1978-1985 COMBINED BOOK) - Mercury, Mercruiser, Force, etc. Parts Lookup

See the service manual and owners manual under MISCELLANEOUS PARTS/ACCESSORIES. Is it the service manual or owners manual you require?

Gerry,

Thanks for the reply. I would like to get both the service manual and the owners manual.
BTW I was told that the engine was a 1989, not a 1984. Where did you cross reference serial number to model year.

Thanks again for your help.

Here is a chart MERCURY OUTBOARD MODEL YEAR GUIDE 115 HP - 150 HP -- Mastertech Marine

iboats sells the manuals http://www.iboats.com/Mercury-Outbo...7656039--session_id.663486357--view_id.688595

In the beginning of the seloc manual you will get the basic owners info so there is no benefit from 2 manuals.

Re: Mercury 150 Black Max

There is a "build" date stamped on tha block. Sometimes hard ta see. It will be 1/8" numbers. m/d/yr. Its gonna be somewhere at tha outside bottom of number 2 cylinder (top, port cylinder) on tha BLOCK half. Kinda behind tha advance timin' arm. It settles all doubt..............Have seen one block where it was wrong but tha percentage of it being right is 99.9%.

Re: Mercury 150 Black Max

Earle;

That info is directly from Mercury.

Here is another to back it up:

7112248 150 1984 ELPTO 6443213- 6616990

MERCURY OUTBOARD MODEL YEAR GUIDE 115 HP - 150 HP -- Mastertech Marine

and another:

150 V-150 V6 6443213 6616990 1984 USA

Mercury 2-takt, V6, 6-cyl, 135 - 175 hp, produktions?r, modellguide

Both manuals are listed in the section referred to in post #2. I have looked on the internet but do not see anything available on Ebay.

Re: Mercury 150 Black Max

To all:

It is definitely an '84. BTW FYI there is quite a difference in price for the same manual. The low I found was iBoats at about $30; the high was Crowley marine at about $75.
Thanks all.

Re: Mercury 150 Black Max

Not to cause a stir with the business side of things here at Iboats but there is a difference between the Mercury manuals and the Selocs. Of course it is completely your choice what you buy.
