Mercury Classic 50 45hp serial number question

[vantrim09]

I recently was given a boat with a classic 50 serial number 0A998927. I've tried finding information using the serial number without any luck. It runs but a bit rough and I'd like to rebuild the carbs before putting in the water. Any help would be great.

I would take a guess that it is a 1986 model.----Why did you pick the rebuilding of carburetors as step #1 in this fixing process ?----And I would replace the water pump impeller before launching the boat !

Thank you for the quick reply. It;s been sitting since 2019. Is there a place I can get a manual for the motor? Water pump impeller is now on the list.

I got my manual on eBay. Brunswick Part #90-86135-5.
