Are you talking about the big number visible when looking down on the dashboard on the driver's side from outside the car? That is what is called the Vehicle Identification Number, or VIN Encoded in that alphanumeric string is the location the car was assembled, where the engine was manufactured, the date of manufacture, the body style and color scheme, and a few other pieces of information.

A 75 hp Mercury outboard, serial number OB9655687, I can not find on the serial number chart. One thing I see, is a seven digit serial number, with a OB prefix. The seven digit serial numbers, ( prior to 1985 ), had no prefix. Serial numbers with the prefix, ( OA,OB,OC, ect. ), have six digit serial numbers. Could there be an error in the serial number posted?
no because serial numbers all have a unique number
That depends on the manufacturer. Different brands can have different lengths of serial numbers.
No set number of numbers and letter..
