Re: 125hp merc

Think about this ..... the 1st time you need a part,even a sparkplug,you need the serial number.Merc made 4 cylinder 125 from the 1980's thru now.Maybe do some 'unpainting'.<br /><br />DHP

Re: 125hp merc

im personally not worried about this.<br /> I, personally, dont need the serial. its just people who have NO IDEA what they are talking about with their motors who need the serial, or people who have dealers who are EXTREMELY unhelpful.<br /><br />thanks

To my knowledge aside from the early I6 1250 (125HP)(cranshaft rated), Merc didn't make a 125hp again until the I4 1994 (propshaft rated), which carried until 2005 and is now discontinued.
