Shane, on most outboards there is a plate fixed to the transom bracket. I have a Mercury, Evinrude and Suzuki and they all have an ID plate on the transom bracket. Check there. I've also heard that some have the serial number stamped onto frost plugs on the powerhead. I'm not familiar with Chrysler outboards so cant suggest anything more.<br /><br />Cheers<br />Mike

If it's not on the transom bracket it should be just in front of the carbs on the deck...that is the only two places I've seen them on Chryslers...Just a Thought

Shane,<br /><br />You're right. I believe we are the only two on this board with the same engine. Also, I believe the above information is correct. It's on a plate in the location they're describing. I'll look tomorrow and tell you exactly where it is on mine. Did you ever find out the correct Champion Spark Plug number???? The UL18V which you were given on another posting IS NOT correct. Found that out tonight. You can e-mail me at mccoyrl@hotmail.com if there's anything I can help you with. The wife's calling, gotta go.

Chrysler:<br />Motor- & modellnummer (Plåten sitter oftast i underkåpan)Translation anyone?<br />The serial number is located, not in the bonnet/hood but on the other half, on the inside.<br /><br /><br />Evinrude:<br />#85493 85 HP 1974<br />#60073 60 HP 1970<br /><br />/Bear
