Mariner Sixty identification

[IrishAndy]

Hello, I have recently brought a project boat with a Mariner Sixty outboard, unfortunately the ID sticker is no longer on the transom so I have no idea of the serial number and/or year of manufacture. Can anyone tell me another way to identify this outboard.

2 strk or 4 strk? How many cylinders? Maybe a pic of it?

 

[IrishAndy]

Sorry, 2 stroke, 3 cylinder, dont have a pic on phone but will get one and upload same

If it the 3 cylinder it the Merc model painted grey...also round disk by fuel pump with serial#

This is the outboard in question, it has had the leg painted at some stage

 

[IrishAndy]

I found these numbers on the inside of the leg, do they mean anything

That's probably a part number I'd imagine. Somewhere on the world wide web there's a Mercury/Mariner identifier based on the cowling decal. that will get you in the ball park. That, of course, can't tell you exactly what year it is, but it could start narrowing it down. For example this;

Puts yours around 1990-1993, assuming the cowling is original.

 

[IrishAndy]

The cowling looks original, I cant see anyone going to the effort to change the cowling over here (Ireland)

Look on the block like faztbullet said.

1993 or newer

I found this tag, is this the correct number, any idea from this code.

Early to mid 90s merc engine. No doubt about it.

On this website
http://www.autorepairmanuals.biz/page/608079 it shows it as a 96 based on the serial number, does that sound right. Last line on this chart
