Pronounced "peetow" by the way... I've been around this stuff most of my life. I just found that out a couple weeks ago. How embarrassing.

Hi SILROND ... I too have a 1985 Bayliner with a 50hp motor.. You can find out alot about the motor if you call Mercury in Wisc. Give them your serial numbers and they track it by computer and tell you the true date.. My motor is actually an 1986.. I thought for a year it was an 1985.. The boat is an 1985, but your motor could be newer or older.. Anyway my speedometer doesn't work either.. No biggy.. The biggest problem this season was trying to keep my motor running..
