I have a mercury outboard 60hp with the following details, I want the proper mercury manual for rebuilding the powerhead. I have purchased a clymer but its nowhere near as impressive as the VP manuals. I have tried Mercury Express but it does not recognise the serial number which I know is correct as Ive had the engine from new and its on the engine and all the paperwork. What manual should I order?<br /><br />Mercury Engine Serial No.<br />09982646<br /><br />Model No. <br />1-060412UB<br /><br />Year 1998

Yea, that serial number doesn't come up for me either, you just have to search by HP, then find it in a SN range. It was manufactured in Belgium.<br />Your Model number didn't come up either, check the B and see if it's not a D. <br />If it is, the manual you want is 90-852572R1

Thanks Don, Ive got the warrenty registration card in front of me and its definately UB. Your quite correct it was made in Belgium. Its hard to know your ordering the correct parts when you cant get the serial number to list. I will phone the company who I purchased it from tomorrow and try and sort this out. <br /><br />Thanks again<br /><br />Chris

Yes, it's the same, just a newer revesion. Even if you ordered the R1, they would send the R2.<br />They will not ship outdated manuals.

Don, <br /><br />I think I may have found something from another thread in the mercury section. In the pdf below it shows the USA serial numbers and the Belgium ones and it looks like mine corresponds to a USA OD000750.<br /><br /> http://www.glmmarine.com/pdf/mm.pdf

I just checked that 0D000750 serial number, and it's for a 1991 9.9Hp Outboard.<br />Not sure why you want it to correspond to something else, but the manual you want for your engine serial number is 90-852572R02.<br /><br />Here is the serial number list on the manual I listed.<br /><br />

Thank you Don, I did go to parts express and picked up it was the wrong serial number. I dont know how I could have got it so wrong, perhaps I shouldnt be trying to reassemble the engine! :). Anyway thanks, Ive ordered it this afternoon.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Chris
