If your engine is a 4 cylinder model, it is a 1985. If it is a 3 cylinder model, it is a 1986.
1976
The blue stripe 4 cylinder 50 hp Mercury outboard was produced in the early to mid 1970's. The serial number 3350793 would be a 1972 year model.
A 50hp Mercury outboard, serial number 5951056 is a 1982 year model.
The value of a 50 hp Mercury, or any other outboard, is largely dependant on the age of the engine.
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.
The Mercury 500 started production in 1961 with 50hp. I have serial # information up to 1979, but I can't find it, so its probably newer than that. check the web link I have attached, maybe you'll be able to find it.
