Question about 1995 Mercury 25 HP

[ande0652]

Hello Everyone,

I bought a used Mercury 25 HP motor. The cowl was painted grey so I can't get a visual identification as to my question.

The guy I bought it from told me it was a Mercury Marathon. I can't find much information on a "Marathon" so I was wondering what the difference was between a Marathon and a regular 25 HP in 1995.

Is there a way I can find out?

I'm mainly interested so that I can order the correct parts. The serial number is OG134XXX

Does anyone know the best way to find out this information?

Would a local marina be able to look it up?

That s/n is a model:

Service Manual P/N: 90-826883R03

You must have Adobe Acrobat reader installed to use this manual. If you scroll down to the lower part of the opening page, you will see the various engine components in red. Click on the one you want and when the first page opens, click on the "Save As" icon at the top LH corner of the page and you can save it to your computer.

When you identify which carburetor you have, you will know if it is a 25 or a Marathon.

Thanks for the information Gerry. I'll check the carburetor when I get home. Do you know the difference in a regular 25 and the Marathon? Or the Sea Pro?
