[QUOTE="jdrautoworks, post: 131982, member: 2874"] Here is what a boat tech buddy of mine said about my engine "Your Merc 40 serial number 5661770 is a model 1040520. Mercury did some screwy things with serial numbers". Hopefully that will help you, I have found that the model 402 is pretty close but there are some differences. Check out www.mercrusierparts.com for OEM part numbers you can look these up by S/N. For the holes on the operators console I would either weld/braze them up and if that is not a option the get some aluminum machine screws (Home Depot Carries them with the bathroom hardware) and thread them into the holes and cut or brake them off and grind smooth. A little spotting putty and primer over the top and good to go. Problem with the JB Weld is the expansion and contraction could cause the "plug" to fall out over time. [/QUOTE]
