Mercury/Mariner does not code the model year into the model number or serial number. The model year is determined by the first serial number sold during the model year. Example: Merc 115ELPTO with serial OT123456 could be 2001 and OT123457 could be 2002.

PLEASE NOTE: Mercury no longer provides a method to designate the model year. Starting in 2005 they put a production date on the transom bracket. Mercury has determined that you do not need to know the model year. The engine serial number is the information required to accomplish parts look up. If you do not feel this is appropriate we encourage you to contact Mercury.

Cheers Gazza,

I managed to find similar info on another american site but still no year. I think this one is around 89-90, but it's split mint. It's been used three times!

I can kind of understand Mercurys comments about not needing to know a year, but when your buying second hand older engines it's just nice to know isn't it.

Thanks for the reply.

... from 0C100861 up 1989
... from 0C221500 up 1990
... from 0C291520 up 1991
... 1991 was the first year for the 200 as 2.5 instead 2.4
