I'm asking the following questions for a friend (less computer literate than me) ... AND ... I'll probably end up doing even more before HIS project is done !!!! He's got a 9.9 Mercury 2 stroke that he can't match up the serial# to the charts on the web ... I couldn't either ... The # is OG157184 ... Need to know the model year !!!! ... AND ... from there,maybe he can get the correct parts ...
He bought the unit for a 'GOOD PRICE (?)' but pieces and parts are missing ... It was originally set up for remote steering and control (a harness plug is sticking out of the cowl) ... BUT ... none of that came with the motor ... SO ... now he's wondering if it would be cheaper to get parts to go to standard tiller steer ... OR ... find the replacement parts and return the engine back to console control ...
I told him 'Stick Steer' with the control box replaced may be an option !!!!
HELP !!!!! ................. If you also have suggestions for 'good' parts sources it would also be appreciated !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
