E-how.com has been there for me in many of my must learn situatations. Ehow is also a good place to start searching for information on outboard motor maintanance. http://www.ehow.com/way_5468513_mercury-outboard-engine-maintenance.html
Somewhere on engine tags or parts numbers, you're going to see (OMC) Outboard Marine Corporation. It's either a Johnson or an Evinrude.
Inboard engines are quieter and are normally more powerful than outboard motors. Outboards are normally less exspensive and easier to maintain.
There are many outboard motor parts at boat shops or dealers around your area. You can also simply find numbers for dealers near you by asking around or checking phone books.

Outboard marine engines, vary in reliability based on how well you maintain them as well as how well they are built from the beginning. Spending more money usually provides a higher quality product but it all comes down to how well it is taken care of by the owner.
The best solution is the find a service manual for that motor. I have seen these in libraries and they are for sale on the internet.
Outboard means "outside", for example, an outboard motor as opposed to an inboard engine.
tn26 857171 outboard what year?
The word outboard is used as an adjective, a noun, or adverb. Example uses:Adjective: I bought a new outboard motor for the boat.Noun: We can install the new outboard on Friday.Adverb: There are brackets attached outboard to hold emergency oars.
It should be marked somewhere on the engine shroud, but if you really don't know and can't get the manual, 40:1 is probably safe.
Yes. For example, you can have an outboard motor on a boat.
You should really get the Helms manual so that you can properly maintain your motor. They're available at http://www.helmsinc.com/ and are well worth the $$$
