Re: What Mercury Model is this ?

[green-thumbs]

At a right price maybe…lack of cowl, broken cavitation plate, damaged gas cap, and it has been out in weather for a spell. Probably a 1946 Mercury KD3. Does the seller have the cowl?
If seller is realistic about value worth a shot….$25 stuck to $50 turns over… this outboard
has issues that may mean two piles of parts…good and junk… despite your best efforts.
Been there Done that. The fuel outlet boss seems to me small as on the prewar tank
Tag is on starboard side as in post war models…mixed parts motors are not unknown
Gas cap appears to have a bolt instead of vent cap. Minor item but more expense to do
a correct restoration.
