Mercury Model Year

[Ralph Wiggum]

I was told my outboard was a '92, but inspecting the labels under the cowl, I think it might be a '93. Mercury makes it next to impossible to decipher their serial numbers, though. I've been Googling away trying to nail it down, but I have come up empty. Anyone know of a good way to find out for sure (not that it matters much, I am just curious).

It's an 60 ELHPTO, serial number OD205176

call merc and have them pull the serial number. They will tell you when it was built at the plant.

From what I can tell. If it's a 92 the serial should start D082000 and if it's a 93 it should start D182000

I dropped Merc an e-mail and it turns out the motor is a '93.

Yep, that's correct (not that mercury would be wrong though, right )
