Serial number

[St]

A mercury 280 2.5 EFI with following serial number: OT998827

Is there some way to tell if it is a ROS (8000+ limiter etc) or standard (7700 limiter). Is it also possible to confirm its a -05?

I have serached the internet but can't find any answers.


Thanks! You guys have been very helpful!

The Ecu should say Ros On it.

Yep. It'll either have the letters ROS or CON on the ecu label. The ecu will have a date on it, also the build date should be stamped into the side of the block near the block/front half mating surface at the base of number two cylinder. If I remember the area is hard to see on a 280 with stock electrics

Btw, I had a 2005 280 with the serial number OT998314 so I would say yours was at least an 05 considering it has a higher serial number

Yep, mine is a 2005 280 and it is 0T998555, so definitely a 2005. I think a # is wrong in your s/n. I think it may be a 877, not 827. Is it a 20" mid version? 877 shows as a 20" mid, but there are no s/n in the 820's.

Thank you guys from helping out....I found that the power head is mounted on a drag 300 mid, OT998827 was the number stamped on the mid and maybe thats why it couldn't be found here: http://www.mercurypartsexpress.com/us/parts-search.html#epc::machine_find

The number stamped on the block show: OT999424...

This is what came out when searching on the new number:

1925201DH = ME 2.5EFI Short-Standard ... Is it possible to tell if itis a ROS from this info?

Thanks once again?

What does the label on the ecu show? It will have ROS or CON on it

Just get the person who owns the motor to send you a pic of the ECU. It will clearly say either "280 CON" or "280 ROS" on the box.

Yeah....what Erik said. :laughing
