Hey guys. Can anyone tell me the year, model of a 35 hp mercury outboard. The serial number is A121282. I've tried and not had any luck. The boat was left to a friend from his departed mother in law and he has no info on it. Thanks in advance!
 
Thank you haventaclue for your reply. That helps. Did you also see the model number by any chance? If not that's fine. Thanks again!
 
I picked up a 20 hp Mercury outboard with no plate or sticker. The freeze plug had a number on it "B162749" How do I get information on this motor so I can get parts? I think it is a 1986 but I'm not sure. Actually, I'm not positive it is a 20 hp.

Hi there, if your serial number truly starts with a 3 then that is going to be pretty old vs the engines being mentioned above in this thread and it wouldn't really be picked up doing a general serial number automated search...

It's going to be from a book chart of serial number ranges plus we would need a bit more info to try and get things sort out with yours such as engine size/HP, any other numbers on the engine / carbs, color of engine and decals, ask again are you sure it's a 3 and not either a 6 or a letter then numbers while 3 is still a possibility, just need to double check with you as often over the years some numbers become fat thumbed all depending on actual model and true year... Maybe post a few photos of the overall engine with and without engine cowling, carbs, serial number ID tag...
 
380XXXX is about 1974.
Since you failed to tell us the HP, we are at a stand still.
Go to Mercury parts
Go to Correct HP
Then see if your serial number range is listed. Some HPs have more than 1 listing, so if your serial number isn't listed, go up or down 1 listing.

Thank You for Replying my Old Parts have Parts #46-68494 for the bottom half and #46-69200 for the top half where should i look for any other I. D. Numbers.?
 
I'm sorry Folks....... When I Posted my Question, I was VERY Frustrated trying to look up the correct parts and Totally Spaced out on Neglecting to Include All Information. From What I gathered I have a 1976 Mercury 650 2-Stroke 65HP Outboard (not a jet) any help is appreciated. and Where Might I Find Any other #'s to Help in Identifying this Engine.?

Mercury does have water pump kits but they weren't shown on the old parts diagrams.

By the way, that same impeller fits Mercruiser 1 from 1963 thru Alpha gen 1 (1990), and most 65hp thru inline 6 outboards. So it will be available long after we are gone.
