I recently bought a 7.5 hp merc outboard that appears to be in good
condition. The seller indicated it was about 15 years old. I think it
is a lot older but have been unable to determine the model year. The
serial number is: 4253791.

Thank you in advance for any info you might provide.


1975.

1976 serial numbers start at 4314385.

15 years, 31 years, what's the difference, right?

For a 7.5 they are like dog years :-) they have there own type of
measurement. I have a 71 merc 7.5 on a little tinney that runs great.

Did replace the stator and coils after 30 years, but hay.
