My brother just gave me a nice little Mercury 9.9 (got divorced and is giving things away....). It is running fine but could use a little TLC. I am trying to identify they year but I have tried every forum link, year lookup, and even called two shops but they have been unable to help me. Wondering if there is someone out there that can assist in identifying or pointing me in the proper direction so I can find the year and HP for this model.

Serial number [FONT=arial, sans-serif]0A920459[/FONT][FONT=arial, sans-serif]- [/FONT]yes this is the real number. I checked it twice and took a picture. I cannot find reference to this anywhere.
Much thanks to anyone out there that can identify this for me.
 
It is most likely a 9.9 that was built late in 1985 to be sold as part of the "new line" of 1986 motors.

The 0A9xxxxx serials were mostly built in late 85.

The 8 horse did not come off the line with the new alpha-numeric serials until later so started with the 0A1xxxxx (never made it to 0A9...)

Great little motors. When looking for parts the various links posted up here will get you to what you need to look up.

In this case the 0A9xxxxx came "before" the 0A1xxxxx in terms of when it was built.

The number contains no "encoded" info such as horsepower, shaft length etc like you see on OMC's etc of the same vintage.
