its a 25 hp mercury. S# OG221268

any help would be nice. Also, I had a mechanic tell me my boat needs a ignition module one day, he called it a switchbox the next day. Is that the same thing? My motor won't start. It fires after I stop trying to start it whether by pulling it or using the electric start. It will fire that one last pop after I let go of the starter button. Mechanic looked at it and said was the ignition module/ switchbox. Anyway, they year would help me get going on fixing the thing. Thanks!

How did you determine what year it was using my serial number? I can't figure it out.

Your S/N is higher than the s/n's they started building in 1995, but lower than the s/n's they started building in 1996.

You drop the O from the serial #
If you follow the link, your serial # falls in between 1995 and the 1996 models.G112484 and G286100.
