V-6 Mercury identification

[leifbert]

Any ideas what this is. I ran the serial number through the Mercury parts site and I get nothing. The guy claims it's a 1998 200. I know it's not, but it's cheap and runs good.

The guy is wrong lol.

Early 2.4 200. My guess 1983-86. There will be a date stamp under the timing arm on the other side.

Yep I agree also. It does have nice aluminum flywheel tho. So wonder what else they did

Haha. Plug wires look like sumthin id do in a pinch

Thanks. This is an amazing website.

Wait till all the political crap slows, then it gets even better! Right now looking at the activity stream sucks! Too much BS.

On https://www.perfprotech.com/mercury-marine-parts-catalog/searchserial it also shows up as a 1985 200, but that cowling trim switch in the photo looks like one from the 90's.
