Old Merc I.D. Please

[Landscaping Wiz 808]

Could one of you Mercury GENIUSES I.D. this motor I'm looking at please?

Mercury Mark 10
Serial #1059471

I've only ever had OMCs because I've heard the Mercs can be a bear to work on. Should I steer clear of this one?

Thanks in advance - BOB

Not sure what you want to know about it...

Here's a link to some info.

10hp , 1958 model

Has a relatively rare automatic trannmission, and are known to be challenging to work on. I believe the water pump is almost impossible to access if I recall correctly.
