mbird Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Hi Ian I recently bought (then sold) a 9.8hp 2-stroke Mercury with serial number 9008165. This was confirmed by Mercury to be a 1973 model. Yo ucould try emailing the chap who confirmed it for me at James.Hughes@barrus.co.uk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Hi Ian, I purchased said beastie from Mark, though I have since "broken" it Its now in for repairs with CC Marine in beccles. 01502 713703. Colin, the proprietor is a Mercury expert having worked on them for 43 years. When he saw min,e he correctly guessed its age/year without even a prompt from me. If you have any trouble with yours, I can throughly recommend him. adam : : : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
