"CC" means 150 block. The "1" is month made. "13" should be year, but that is not a 2013 motor.

Yep. Cc is usually 150 xr6. If memory serves correct Ur mota is a 96. Ur mid look like 01 xr6. 2-5-96 is build date

What IS the powerhead then? 150 what? a 1996 XR6? any way to tell what model powerhead this is?
Nada lists 7 1996 merc 150HP that year, including a XR6. All the EFI's can be thrown out the window, leaving 4 to choose from.
I have no idea even to guess. But I'm sure their are some differences with the 4 models to choose from.
Most likely, all use the same parts with maybe different internals. (?) Serial # does me no good to research the powerhead.
Would be nice to know for sure tho.

yes,, mine has the same plug same place, BUT there are no numbers or markings on mine.
so mine is a 96 XR6?

**Merc 2.5** · 10-17-2019, 05:30 PM

I do. Believe cc block was xr6 150. Not 100% but 90. Theres a serial behind throttle arm where 2 block halves meet runnin vertical. Unless it's a replacement block. On those sum didnt have #s

That exactly where I found this "CC 1 13"

Im not sure what you are trying to figure out. Your motor is a "mixed bag". Very obvious that it has a promax divider plate. Its nearly impossible to tell exactly what you have from the outside. Most parts are interchangeable on 2.0, 2.4 and 2.5 motors. Your motor could be a 2.0 or 2.5.

The stock ignition is good for over 300 hp and 10k RPM. Look elsewhere for modifications...

I agree this has got way more confusing than it should b. I can clearly see made in 96 tho and mid in 01, and cowl from PM. It's a frankinmerc. nothin wrong ,, gonna have to find them #s tho the (13) is start of serial. Just prob cant see the rest

An update on what I have found out. Merc, you are right on track with this one.... after hours of researching. my mid IS 2001 XR6 and someone has change out the PH.
Build date 2-5-96 which is stamp on the block. "CC" is the stamp code for and 150hp XR6. so with this confirmed information, I have concluded the serial #s 0G303046 thru 0G760299
At least now a can get parts when needed and should not have to worried if they will fix or not.
Thanks again for all y'all help!
Also a huge thanks to Mach351, here @ S & F.
