My serial number is not in the catalogs!!!!

[johnkbl]

Yes..... I have already checked the sticky post of this forum that has the links to the pages whith the list of serial numbers and years.

The outboard is a Mercury, serial number is 0a994838. It is a 75 hp (dont know if it is 2 or 4 stroke).

Also, I have spent about 3 hours googling the info, but have not been succesfull.

Who can help?

Re: My serial number is not in the catalogs!!!!

Well... well.. I do not think so. I think the outboard was made before 1980. The cowl is like this:

The cowl is like a belt. Has some brackets in the back of the engine, and you open it like a book.

Could it be a 1975?

It has 4 cylinders.

Re: My serial number is not in the catalogs!!!!

Dukedog nailed it It is a 1987 2 stroke 4 cylinder engine. You can go to Mercurypartsexpress.com and enter the serial # with the O (not zero) and pull all the diagrams for your engine..

Re: My serial number is not in the catalogs!!!!

Well well... It seems that I have an answer!!!

using the model you gave, I found a store with the parts. The cowl is the same:

yes, it has 4 cylinders...

The parts are here:

But...now... the other problem I have is that I called the local parts shop and they do not have this model in their system. I am looking to buy the motor. It looks in very, very good condition but I am affraid that if the shop has no parts, then, if something goes bad, I will have several headaches.

Also, If you google the model number, there is no much information available in Internet.

Dukedog:
Thanks a lot for the answer. Could you please help me with this other question: Do you know if there is a similar/replacement outboard with a different model number that I can use to get replacement parts in case I need them? Do you know if this model was produced only for a specific area?

The owner is selling me this outboard for about $500.00

What you guys think?

Re: My serial number is not in the catalogs!!!!

Also, forgot to ask:

Where in the outboard is the model number? I only could find the serial number...

Thanks!

Re: My serial number is not in the catalogs!!!!

Guess I shoulda spelled "O" sted of dependin' on ma typin' skills :redface:

I can't be of much help on this motor other than lookin' up numbers. I don't do anything but tha V6. Just a performance habit from tha '70's I can't seem ta shake. I'm sure there are people "in tha business" on here that should be able ta answer your ?'s.............D

Re: My serial number is not in the catalogs!!!!

Tried to go to Mercury Parts express to get the diagrams but.... I am located in Guatemala. Got this message:

"Mercury Parts Express is currently only available within the United States, please contact your local Mercury Dealer to order parts. "

Found it under the Merc/Mariner section

This will show you all parts still available thru your local dealer.

Re: My serial number is not in the catalogs!!!!

The links for parts you've been given lists a lot of my 1983 Merc parts as being no longer available. However, with the part number and some internet searching, you can find about everything. CDI Electronics and Sierra Marine make a lot of aftermarket parts that are still available even though Mercury doesn't have them. Getting them in Guatemala may be more of a problem than finding them.
