Trim tab ID

[Rosscoe]

Anyone know how I can find the part number of the trim tab I need for my motor? I know I could just go to a dealer and get one but I am looking on ebay and most list part numbers and not necessarily what year they fit.
My old one is napping on the bottom of the Mississippi somewhere near Red Wing.

Ross, I believe the stock part number is 31640, but you might want to buy a setback trim tab in case you buy a high rake stainless steel prop to clear the blades. In that case, the part number is 822777, and one is on e-bay now for $9.55 with shipping. I would call a local Mercury dealer and review with him your Mercury year and horsepower to confirm that the numbers above are correct.

Thanks David
I see many 31640's with various letters at the end, so yeah I should probably call.

Boy this can get frustrating real fast. On an ebay auction, 2 sites were suggested for checking parts fitment and NEITHER one list anything about my motor based on my serial number. I'll have to stop at a dealer.
