    Mercury motors need to find year.

    Picked up an old boat (Saber Craft Commander 19) that has a Mercury 1400 and a Mercury 75 on the back. I can not seem to find a year of manufacture for them online. I have in the past dated my 1968 Merc 110 but cant find that site. The 1400 serial is 4866728 and the 75 is 3934194

    New Water Pump needed 1975 Mercruiser 888

    I need to replace the water pump on my ford 302. I don't see a part on iboats.com. Can I buy one for a 75' Ford 302 from the auto parts store? Looks like the boat had less hoses than an auto and i assume i can plug the extra holes.... let me know what i'm missing. Murray
