What year is my 2 Stroke Mercury

[Grader1]

I am new here and have a problem finding out what year my motor is. It is a 15 horse power and I need to know where to look for the sn#. these are some of the numbers I found under the hood...010788
42366
881-9727-c
I do not know if any are the serial# or not.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Re: What year is my 2 Stroke Mercury

You are looking for a 7 digit number starting with either 1, B or C, assmuing this is a US made motor. I have seen a single digit prefix before this number.
There could be a plate/sticker on the mount, also on the side of the carb is a little shiny disc, either of these two places will have it.

Re: What year is my 2 Stroke Mercury serial (407828)

I bought a 7.5 2 stroke Merc (407828) for my sailboat. It has been sitting in a shop for 10 years and not started. What years is the outboard? What should I do before starting it so nothing gets damaged?

Re: What year is my 2 Stroke Mercury

I too have a Mercury outboard that has been hard to identify. It has been painted all black but I have the Serial number (0B187492) I don't know for sure what the HP is or the year it was built. Being a newbie here too I hope for the best. Thanks for any help.

Thanks so much. Is the motor a 8hp? I am not sure what the ML stands for as well. I might be out of luck for getting parts. The shift is in the tiller arm and when I twist it, nothing happens, it just keeps going around with no stops. Can't get it out of gear to start it. A guy told me that they only go back 15 years for stocking parts for the tiller and shift part of it. Possibly I won't find any parts.

Thanks again.

Regards,

Mick

Re: What year is my 2 Stroke Mercury

thanks for the info BDbill, assuming that i have to drop the leading zero therefore making s/n 9605730, then it appears to be a 1990 model
