"Please help! My husband has a new used boat with a Mercury 90 hp 2 stroke 3 cylinder oil injected outboard engine. The serial number is partially worn off but what he can read is OD (or O zero),then possibly a 1,and then two obsured numbers the second of which may be an 8, followed by 726. The manual that came with the motor has a copyright 1988 Brunswick Corporation and the boat was made in 1987. I have searched for serial number IDs but can't find anything similar. Is the serial number stamped anywhere else on the engine? We would really like to know what year this engine was made so we can obtain the correct repair/maintenance manuals. Thank you!"
