serial number and year question

[bigkfisher]

I just got this motor and on the title it says it is a 1989 175ELP Mariner, with a serial number A113606. After some research I believe it may be a 1986 model. It is also an oil injected model. Just wondering if I'm correct with the 1986 year or if the title is correct.
