Trying to ID Engine and Outdrive?

[SRHFT]

1978 Cobalt. Engine Serial reads Mercury ?878415, that is all, you can not read the rest. Outdrive says Merc 77124-S. I would like to purchase the service manuals for both but need help in finding the year and model.

Here is a section from the Adults Only sticky at the top of the page.

This can be used to check the year of your engine, drive, and transom shield by serial number.
