MERC 300E Vintage Thunderbolt

[supher31]

I need help to identify my Mercury outboard motor. I bought this from my friend and don't even know the Year Model and horse power HP. It shows only the model MERC 300E powered by Vintage Thunderbolt Engine, with the Serial Number 1327909. Does anybody here that can identiy this motor so I could buy the right parts for this? Thanks a lot.

It is a 30hp, unfortunately I cannot give you the year. Mercury focuses on serial range rather than year. the following link should assist you with parts
