Re: Mercury 150 Black Max

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.

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%.

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.

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.
