Merc 4HP 2stroke: guess its year

[Sharkbait22]

Trying to figure out what year a motor was made. Looks like this one http://lloydminster.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-boats-watercraft-other-4-hp-Mercury-2-stroke-outboard-motor-W0QQAdIdZ508924175 Somebody here might have one like it. I'm guessing mid 80s maybe early 90s but who knows.

 

Alternatively, where on the motor is the stamp or sticker? Looked everywhere. Many thanks.

Late 80's early 90's looking at it.

If you can locate the serial number, this will tell you the year.

Could be as new as 97. I have a 6hp with a similar cowling that has a 97 serial number.

Thanks for the replies. I'll type in any number I fined.

On my 2003 4hp 2 Stroke Merc the #'s are on the top of the mount bracket under the power head.

You have to turn the head 90* to read it.

 

On my '91 90hp Merc the plate is on the right bracket leg as you look @ the engine from behind the boat.

 

My guess is you'll find the #'s somewhere on the mounting bracket.
