No. It is proven not to exist.Retrograde refers to something that is opposite the usual order, inverted or reversed as well as a movement that goes backward.3 - 4 times a year the planet Mercury slows down and appears to stop and move backward (retrograde). However this is an optical illusion. There is still forward movement but as it recedes it appears to go backward.
The Mercury with serial number 9372470, made in Belgium, was produced in 1977. The serial number indicates the production year, as Mercury used a specific numbering system to track the manufacturing dates of their outboard motors.
Planet retrograde is when the planet appears, from the Earth point of view, to be orbiting opposite from its normal direction around the sun. Basically, it looks like its going backwards. It usually occurs when Earth overtakes a planet in its orbit. This video here at the link below shows a good example of what retrograde looks like. The top part of the video shows the movement we see from Earth while the bottom shows the planet's actual movement.
The Sun is closest to Aquarius around January 20 - February 18 each year. Mars is closest to Aquarius when it transits through the sign, which can vary each year, but generally occurs for a few weeks every couple of years. Mercury can be closest to Aquarius when it is in the sign or during its retrograde periods, which happen around 3-4 times a year and can last for about 3 weeks each time.

What year is Mercury Outboard with serial # 5863149
In year 7 the expected levles are level 5 and over.
Venus is the planet that rotates retrograde, meaning it spins in the opposite direction to most other planets in our solar system. Its rotation is very slow and takes longer than its orbit around the Sun, resulting in a unique day that is longer than its year.
