I'M still unable to pinpoint a year for you on this one bring an Australia number that starts with an 08.I"m going to partially answer my own question here. According to the mercury serial number guide: http://www.marineengine.com/mfr/mercury_models.html there were only 3 years that Mercury manufactured an 80 HP, 3 cyl two stroke motor. that is, 1987, 1988,1989. However, my serial number is not listed. it is 08930837. there is no way of knowing which of these years this motor was manufactured. It would be good to know so i could properly date the motor. Anyone shed any more light on this?
thanks

Though Australia's number isn't listed in the service manual index for your 80 HP engine model, the service manual for the 80 hp 3 cylinders suggests the year range to be from 1987 - 1993.
Mercury manual part number 90-13645--2 / 1095 covers;
70/75/75 Marathon/75XD/75 Sea Pro 80/90 (3 Cylinder) 1987 thru 1993 AND 100 & 115 (4 Cylinder) 1988 thru 1993
(U) 0A997142 thru 0D283221 (B) 09502135 thru 09793576 (C) 0A722297 and Above
(U) 0B209468 thru 0D283221 (B) 09523034 thru 09793576 (C) 0A731673 and Above

Could you use something like nail polish to try and carefully clean some of the black stuff off that looks like paint in order to help confirm them numbers.....Depending on the angle you look at the numbers they start to look like they could be a mix of numbers and or letters.....Now i see why you had a list of them to start with.
Maybe an overall photo of the engine will help someone know as sometimes the engine decal colors tends to help certain members such as racerone know the year by looking at them.
Testing of adding photos!!
Thanks, for some reason the engine photo didn't want to open earlier but the serial number plate opened.
Hopefully one of the guys might recognize the engine better then I.
One other option to try is search online under ( identifying mercury outboards by color of decals ) as there are a few places that color coordinate the known decals to years made.
You may not be able to open my link to my search of identifying mercury outboards by color of decals but just in case here it is, https://www.bing.com/search?q=ident...-48&sk=&cvid=4CD1BAC19D0F40FEAF57E593643BFBEC
