I'm asking about Mercury Outboards here, model 1150, I-6 configuration, 115 hp. Serial #'s 3753248 and 3945471. Don't refer me to a website, I've looked at all obvious.
Well, the first one 3753248 comes up as a 1974 e or el 150 hp engine.
The second one 3945471 does not list.
And sorry, but your gonna have to do some of the work here.

It should be the tenth digit of the serial number. (the tenth digit could also be a letter.) you could email it to me and i could tell you. Put serial # as the subject and if i do not email u back within a day send it again.

There are over 40 types of 'old' Seagull - the Owners Spares Books will help you to identify the parts you may require.
I need the specs to adjust the valves and electrical diagrams to bring engine back to life.
no winners here. westerbeke owns universal. and yes kubota are marinized.
go to westerbeke web and look up old docs. answered my own question
i don't think Kubota makes boat engines but i could be wrong but they are good engines as far as I'm concerned. if you get manifolds to fit it I'd say your good to go.

Norman Phelps, Model Boat Club President | Spitalfields Life
In July, it was my privilege to interview Norman Phelps in what proved to be his last Summer upon the lake at Victoria Park where he sailed boats for more than seventy years. Norman died on Christmas Eve and today I am republishing my pen portrait as a tribute to a wonderful man who became a legend in the world of model engineering.
This is Norman Phelps, President of the Victoria Steam Boat Club, proudly displaying his ratchet lubricator that he made recently – just the latest example of an enthusiasm that began in 1935 when, at the age of five years, he fell into the boating lake in Victoria Park. It might have been a tragedy but instead it was the beginning of a lifetime’s involvement with model boats, and seventy-five years later, you can still find him at the lakeside on Sundays, giving the benefit of his experience to the junior members of the club.
