Hey guys! Ijust bought a 35 horse mercury from a pawn shop and i have the serial number just don't know the age/year. My serial number is 08149149 and the year area was not viewable. Also i know nothing about outboards and i plan on doing alot of salt water fishin and was wondering how hard is it to learn to fix outboards. Can my marine tech. show me a couple of thnigs to look out for and fix or do i have to learn about that myself. I'm completely dumb when it comes to motors but i must learn. Is it hard and are their any manuals that speek in layman terms? Thanks alot josh<br /><br />p.s the motor seems great it started with 1 pull
