Hey guys,
Got this Mercury (Tohatsu) 40HP 3 cylinder 2-Stroke motor off a bloke a little while back, finally found a hull I could put it on. As I went to register it i lifted the cowel to get the serial number off the sticker located on top of the block, the whole motor had been covered in a thing film of lanolin oil and the serial number was a little hard to read, as I wiped it it has taken the serial number and bar code right off. After a reasonable search of the rest of the outboard I cant find anything else, but have been advised that it should be stamped on the block somewhere.
Can anyone tell me exactly where this location might be, I'm not sure of the year but it is near identical to the 2008 40HP Lightning XR i have on my runabout except it is tiller and does not have the elec trim tilt.
We have looked at past rego details from the gentleman on his boat but were left with a dead end.
Any help would be much appreciated!!
