wHAT year is my motor.....

[fishing fanatic]

I have an 84' 18 ft Wellcraft Fisherman with a Mariner 90 hp with serial number 6398998.....trying to find parts has been difficult........

Looks to be an 85 model. ----Just an inline Mercury 6 cylinder with a gray paint job.---Parts should not be a major problem.----What parts are you looking for.----Depending on your location used parts are plentiful as well.

Great and thanks for the response......my motor bogs down sometimes and I have a hard time starting it.....once started you can hear a ticking noise as if one of the plug wires is arching.......i want to do a complete tuneup of this motor including replacment of plugs/wires, rotor and cap, fuel pump and gaskets........any recommendations on using regular fuel vs premium and what is the best oil to mix......I want this motor to last me another 5-10 years........if thats possible...thanks
