I have a Mercury / Kiekhaefer 1150 115hp Outboard with serial no: 1893171 and would like to know the year so I can buy a repair manual. Also, which repair manual is the best or are they pretty much all created equal?

115 serial numbers start in 1970 at 2836019, are you sure it is a 115, in 1965 the 100 hp started at 1755459 and the 110 in 66 started at 1870204?

That is not a 115 is was built before 1967 so it is probably a late 100 or early 110, all inline 6s were CD ignition after 1966 and some 66 engines were CD with pts. and that engine is conventional ign. sorry for the bad news---Bob
