I just bought an old mercury 115HP straight 4 cylinder (2 stroke). It's been sitting for awhile so I need some basics to refresh it. Trouble is, the serial number tag on the transom mounting bracket doesn't seem to have a number printed on it, though the tag does look original. Very strange... The pressed-in number on the side of the engine is damaged so I can't see the beginning of the number. Anyone have an idea on how to begin identifying this? I have been poking around and found some starting points, but I don't understand how the serial numbers progress. For example, I see things like Serial #Cxxxxxx through Gxxxxxx. But the first character looks like it might be a B or R or something... I can't tell! Here is a picture of the tag on the aft part of the cowl (colors are quite faded...) and also the damaged pressed-in medallion. Previous owner said he thought it was around a '94. Thanks!
