That serial number looks like a yamaha serial number,look on the engine for a welsh plug (aluminum about the size of a quarter) and see if you see a serial number there.

Tom;

Most of the databases available online only have the American or European built engines but there are a few that include the Japanese built engines. Yours is a Yamaha build according to the s/n. Even the Mercury parts site will not accept your s/n or an Australian built engine.

Do you have a service manual for yours?
