Can any one tell me the year for a 15 horsepower mariner serial number: 15 c 684cs005453? Also what series of numbers will I need to try and find parts to rebuild the cylinder. I have not been successful using these numbers for part identification.

Thank you!

15 horse, "C" model (15 c) - 100% Yamaha built (for Merc), for sale primarily in Asia and parts of Europe. The popularity of some particular models saw them come to North America as a lower cost alternative to (real) Merc motors. These were not "cheap" or "junk", simply motors based on technology that was a few years old, so they didn't have the "latest" engineering or the bells/whistles of either Merc or Yamaha motors of the same model year.

684 - Yamaha designator for their model 15 B which began production in 1978 (so regardless of the year of production, the motor is "mechanically" a 1978 Yamaha model 15 B).

C - originally mfg for a control box (remote) but tiller equipped

S - standard (short shaft 15")

005453 - the serial number indicating a "manual start" with a production date in 1979

For the purpose of parts if you are looking up on a Merc site you have a model "15C" with a type/serial of "M-684-005453
