How to Find the Serial Number on Your Mercury Outboard
The serial number is your key to obtaining accurate parts
information and availability for your Mercury Outboard.
You can find the engine serial
number on the starboard side of
the engine on what’s called the
“transom bracket”. The number
will start with a 0 or 1, then a
letter (eg. A, C, D, T) then 6
numbers.
An example is 0G465723.
On the transom bracket, you will
see a small plate that’s been riveted on to the bracket. It should
contain the serial number, and on
later models it will also include
the model year.
Since Mercury uses serial groups
more often than model years, it is
very important to quote your serial
number when looking for parts.
