Need engine model from serial

[rubberpanman]

I have a 1979 115 HP mercury outboard with serial number 5240745. Any information I can get will be helpful, thanks.

Your engine serial number is just a bit to old to get an exact match but I can tell Mercury had three engine models to choose from in 1979. The were,

1979 MERCURY , 115

Model	Version
1115529	EL
1115629	ELPT
1115649	EXLPT

Either way you'd like to look up parts say from the model number search online or serial number range, here is your parts catalog for you via S/N range,
4855153 - 5314655 (USA) http://www.marineengine.com/parts/mercury-outboard-parts/1150-115/4855153-thru-5314655-usa
