Mercury Motor Help & What year?

[smonski]

I am restoring a MERCURY 50 HP<br />Serial Number: 0A188541 Model Number: 1050525 <br /><br />Can someone tell me what year is this?<br />Also, what parts do I need to repair after it has sat in the water not used for 5 years? Ran fine 5 years ago but we have not tried to start it up since.<br /><br />Thank you

Re: Mercury Motor Help & What year?

What colour band does it have ? 2 blues with silver text ? White text ? Or is it Brown or red band ?<br />How many cylinders 3 or 4 ?<br />My best guess is 1985 Brown band, but you can look here.<br /> http://www.marinshopen.se/guide/mp/merc65.htm <br /><br />and <br /> http://www.marineparts.com/partspages/techhelp/TECH15.HTM
