Hi everyone, I've just acquired what I'm told is a Yamaha 8hp 2 stroke. The clamp bracket has been replaced so I don't have the serial number. Although it has a 8hp hood, I'm wondering if it may be a 6hp and anyway I'll need a serial number when I come to ordering parts. Does anyone know any way to tell the difference between the 6 and the 8 without the number and if the number is stamped anywhere else on the engine? It seems a little odd if the only ID is a sticker which could be replaced by an unscrupulous person.

On older Mercury outboards, going back into the 50's and possibly even earlier, the serial number would generally be viewed at the leading edge of the swivel bracket, as seen in the image below. If for any reason that number may have been changed, removed, or can no longer be read, every Mercury had a freeze plug, which is on the powerhead and about the size of a quarter.

The clamp bracket has been replaced so I don't have the serial number.
