Re: what year ?

i find the "range" of years for that model but i need specifics...
if i am seeing things correctly,i think it is a '75...
if someone wants to verify that would be great....

*sorry for the petty question...but some times we need help in life,,and sleep....thank you..goodnight.

2/4 cylinder? Mercury doesn't really go by the year.They go by serial #s stammped in the block to order parts and do service.It's about a 75-76 thats what I found.J

tnx Jerry..inline 6 150hp (1500)
i just don't deal with many Mercs and it wasn't coming together last night as to the year...i see what your saying....think i found it to be a '75,but i don't like guessing.
not sure why they wouldn't link their serials to model "years" for referencing instead of >between here and here< is what ya got....
but i don't understand many things....i'll learn as i go.

Looks like a 75 to me. From my lists, anyway.

Re: what year ?

Mikes got it right, (or Merc) nah, give Mike the credit, he posted the chart.

Merc did use Year ID's up until around 1990 but you have to remember that the production year begins around June I think. Technically yours would probably be a 75 built in the later part of the production year.
