Year of Chrysler outboard

[Dysfunctionalone2k1]

Hello all I have an 85 Hp chrysler magnapower ignition outboard. I am trying to determine what year it is.The model # is 8571 and the serial # is 3756.<br /> I am trying find out what year it is to try to order parts. It has a gualded piston in the # 1 cylinder and the compression is down to 25 psi on this cylinder so am wanting to order a new piston and rings. Anyone have any idea what year this is? <br />Thanks in advance.<br />Richard<br />wadewitz@sbcglobal.net

not sure of the year, but about the compression....<br /><br />Maybe the experts will correct me but I think maybe you should try decarbing, spraying pb blaster or some penitrating oil in the cylinder (maybe let oil set in the cyl for a day or so). I am thinking it could be a stuck ring, something to consider before tearing down....just a thought.

Your chrysler is a 1969 model.
