Mariner 40hp outboard

[hutchliz]

I have recently purchase a second hand Mariner 40hp outboard the serial number is difficult to read it looks like OP075678 however the first letter is hardly legible - I think its an O - this serial number doesnt come up when I am looking for parts, any advice?

It's a "zero".

Where are you looking???

Here's the link for that serial for a 3 cylinder model http://www.mercruiserparts.com/selectDocs.asp?doc_nbr=803026

and here's the link for the 2 cylinder models http://www.mercruiserparts.com/selectDocs.asp?doc_nbr=803018

and if it's a 4 stroke the link is http://www.mercruiserparts.com/selectDocs.asp?doc_nbr=803941

Thanks Graham, I had been looking on marineengine.com. Its the 2 stroke model, but whats concerning me is theres no reservouir to hold the oil. I assume I just mix the oil into the petrol tank?
