my avitar is a photo of a metal 165hp sticker. i have two of them. one on the boat, on the engine cover. my guess is that's not where it goes. got one of them here in the house, new, unused. it has a peel off adesive undernieth. does anyone know what it's original location was?

my guess is on the motor cover, or on the side of the shaft where the rest of the info is... but not 100% sure just a guess... search on ebay or google and see what you can find.... I am interested to know myself.

I wanna say I seen them placed on the valve cover of the motor. I'll half to go back through this other website and see if I can't find the picture again.

yep, that's where it is. i just don't think that is where it's supposed to be.... looks fine enough there though....

wa. the valve cover maybe... but it already has a mercruiser sticker there....

i was wondering if it's original location might be the drive. i don't think i have any 165 stickers on it.... + i got two of them.. leads me to think wherever they go, it's something that can be seen either port or starboard....

Back in the days of the engine, you would find them on the outside of the hull, back near the transom. Usually on boats at boat shows.

that's interesting.... i'd not of thought of placeing them there.... i'm infereing that ya would mean somewhere by the boats name on the sides.. im my case, the aristocraft emblem. kinda makes sense too with what the sticker says. powered by. so for me. it'd be aristocraft powered by mercruiser 165hp..... did they like to place the sticers next to the name, or under the name? or just wherever it looked ohkeydokie at...

Yeah I found out I was looking at the wrong sticker. I even looked on ebay and found a powered by decal on there. I started to email seller and ask "where are those decals normally placed" :D:D. I seriously was thinking along the lines of Don S at one point, but I was thinking just anywheres outside the hull.

I knew I have seen that picture somewhere :). I've been watching this boat on another website just to see how much she will go for, she's in pretty rough shape.
