All the impellers are not the same.. Upside is though when you get the old one out, most every marine shop has this cool little counter mat that has all the impellers on it, so you can just put the impeller on the counter mat and it will give you the correct part #.

Just how bad is that 90HP? I'm heading out to Havi next week to buy a 24 ft pontoon with a 90 on it. Not looking to set any records but decent GPH on plane is important.

Ken, if it is a two stroke, don't expect good GPH.

IMO it will do just fine with that 90 :)

Go back to post #4, click the link then enter your serial #. Or do you need me to do that then post the results?

the serial # is 5321502
Serial number 5321502 looks to be a 1979 engine since your serial number range is between 5158929 - 5464485 found in the link below.

200 5158929 - 5464485 = 1979

Your engine could be to old to work in the first link i posted due to mercury's system really didn't start to get accurate until about 1980+.

Here should be your engine parts.

Probably the biggest improvements in boating have come in the OB space. a 23 year old OB is about as dated IMHO as a Commodore 64 computer.......actually from the same era.......is that what you want on the back of your boat???:rolleyes:

While you might argue that "Electronics" have ruined boating......I would opine that they haven't......just made it better.......just saying!:headscratch:

78 I believe... :headscratch:

I don't think Merc ever made a 200 hp "Tower of Power" straight six. The Black Max engines are a V-6 configuration.
