I Just bought a 2003 Sea Ray 176 SRX

Yes. The numbers match for all the outdrive parts. The Engine number in my boat I haven't found yet if it's supposed to be on the flange for the starter ( where Mercury's email said to look). I would have to be a man 10 inches tall to walk under the engine to find that ! The flame arrester has stickers with all the machinery numbers but unfortunately they cannot be read anymore. A stamped number by the engine oil dip stick I was told in the Mercury email, is not a Mercury number


Alpha Gear Assembly 1RL91484


Drive Serial # OM441165


Transom Serial # OM572368

Engine serial number OM385898


Engine number 1M02181BL8 stamped by the dip stick is not a Mercury number


HULL # US SERR3122A303 176 SRX 1499

I will try to reach under the starter with my camera phone and see if I can take a picture of any numbers. Then I'll try the mirror and flashlight

The data tag should be on the side of the bell housing flange, not underneath
