Mercury Marine classifies year model by serial number range. For example, in 1973 Mercury produced the 50hp starting with serial number 3478003 and ending with serial number 7007358, thus 50hp serial number 3576839 would be a 1973 year model. Most any reputable dealer or repair facility should have these model year charts on hand. Also noted, when looking up Mercury year model, you will need to know both serial number and horsepower, other manufactorers, OMC for instance, only needs the complete model number I have a 50hp mercury motor sn# is 3576839. I can not find out the year,I needit to find parts.
where do you find the vin on a boat
model number 574-59660 what kind of boat motor do I have
Unfortunately to find out the year of a Mercury boat motor one needs not only the serial number, but also the horse power rating. This allows it to be narrowed down to a specific year.
it is a 1977 motor
The letters in the model number designate the year model, when compared to a model / year guide.
