what year is my merc?

[Stigimoloch]

Hey guys, could you help me out here. I've got a 4.5 horse mercury mariner that I need to do some work on, but I need to know what year manual to buy. The serial number is 4597781. Thanx for any help you can supply.

Re: what year is my merc?

what repair manual would be best for helping me replace the water pump impeller? I looked through the Seloc sample index and it said nothing about this topic. Any suggestions?
