Re: Mercruiser MCM 3.0??
HI i've just brought a Fletcher GTS with a Mercruiser MCM 3.0 inboard the serial number is OC369282 but i cant work out the rough year of the Boat i think it's about 1993 but i want to know what types of oil it uses in the engine and outdrive as i want to keep on top of the servicing?
Any help would be appreciated thanks
This serial number you posted is for your
sterndrive, 0C369282 Model number 5010198AS MERCRUISER ALPHA 1.98:1. R.H. ROTATION.
The drive manufacture Date was on: 02/08/1988.
The name of the oil you will want to run in your
sterndrive is called (Mercruiser high performance gear lube plus).
Check the top of this forum adults only thread for the service manuals (9?). Just on a guess, you need service manual #13.
For this perticular sterndrive, The OP will need service manual part number 90-129342 SERVICE MANUAL
#6 R/MR/ALPHA ONE.
As far as service manual number 13 goes for his engine, We will need to see his engine serial number to anwser that correctly, Because of the undetermined year of the engine/Boat.
Isn't the year of manufacture included at the end of the serial number, stamped on the starboard side of the transom of almost all boats? So the last two digits ought to be 93.
Yes, normally the
boats hull identification number is located around the starboard side of the outside transom area.
Normally the last two digits should be the year of the boat, my guess is, his should be somewhere around the year 1988.
