Early 70's Canadian S/N<br />Unfortunately, You guys and us Aussies don't get a mention on most S/N listings... <br />Ours start with 8<br />Your's 7<br />All that I know, is S/N 706*** lines up with USA 435*** which is 1976<br />Yours is 701*** so it looks a few years older.
I have been informed that the year of my outboard is 1973. Unicorn , you sent me on the right path with your input regarding USA vs. Canadian serial numbers. Thanks for your time. Kindest regards.
UR welcome..<br /><br />Looks like most sites like this one..<br /><br /> http://www.marineparts.com/partspages/techhelp/TECH15.HTM <br />tend to cater for USA due to the high number of motors sold there, but you guys have some fabulous lakes and probably make up a large percentage of Merc owners.<br />The main countries where Mercs seem to be sold are<br />USA S/N 3,4,5,6, A B O*<br />Europe (Belgium, Great Britain) S/N 9*<br />Canada S/N 7*<br />and here in Aus.. S/N 8*<br />Just a bit of useless trivia.
I have a book at work, that I can check some of the serial #'s with. Both Mariner and Mercury numbers.<br /><br />It might be easier just to follow the links above rather than wait for me to stumble by.<br /><br />TMD
