    Motor Build Detail

    Brand new 2021 Merc 225 Pro XS 4-stroke, serial number 3B011982. Is there a way to tell the year, month, day a motor was built by the serial number or some other motor spec?

    If you would, please take a few moments to review the Announcements at the top of the Forum, and be sure to provide the Required Info (serial number) when posting. Thanks!

    If you provide that info, yes, I can see manufacture date.

    Sorry Don. An oversight on my part. I've edited my post above to include the missing info.

    FYI, manufacture date is on a sticker on the motor

    There are a lot of stickers and manufacture dates on an engine... which pertain to the component the sticker is affixed to in most cases.
