Merc Inline 6 Year

[BatDaddy1887]

OK fellas....the serial number for my engine is OB110324...photos attached. It's a 115hp. I can't find any references for this serial...especially for correct parts. The original owner was not sure if it was an '87. '88' or an '89. Anybody here have info on this...thanks.

According to this chart it's an '87:

Last year for the Inline Six was '88. Your motor has the power-ported pistons/block and will be a very strong runner. Its hp is rated at the prop and so is roughly equivalent to an earlier crankshaft-rated 140hp.

Recommend you go to the engine FAQ at the repair forums root directory and check out the Link and Sync posting, also the decarbonization info.

If you don't know when the impeller was last replaced, be sure to change it before you put the motor in service. Investing in a less-than-$25 part will save you many $$$ in parts and much grief! With all the good info at this forum, you'll be able to replace it yourself and save even more.

Cheers...........ed
