"Can someone please tell me where I can get parts for a 9.8 Mercury, serial number OA178103? The part I need is called a saddle. New or used is fine. Also, where can I find the year of this motor? I can't find this serial number listed anywhere.
Thanks"

"Mark, that serial number would make the motor a 1986 model. That was the year that Merc switched to producing the 9.9's and discontinued the 9.8's (so both models were available in 86).

The two motors are worlds apart in construction. And although the 0Axxxx series was almost exclusive to the 9.9's (in that horsepower) it is possible that your motor was one of the last 9.8's that came off the line and they tacked the new serial scheme onto it.

Alot of parts for these are still available through a Merc dealer and with regards to any of Merc's online parts look-up's you can select (for 9.8 models with a serial of 9217756 or above) and get the diagrams/part numbers for your particular model.

Also, with the exception of the carb and exhaust, 7.5 horse model parts (same serial range) are also 100% compatable..."
