How to Identify Your 115HP Model
- Find the nameplate/serial plate on the transom bracket or swivel bracket (usually on the port side). Record model code, serial number, and shaft length.
- Model codes for carbureted 2-strokes often look like M115A2 with suffixes that indicate options: S/L/X for shaft length, E for electric start, and T for power trim & tilt.
- 2-Stroke identification: carburetors and an external or remote oil tank (for oil-injected models) are common; there is no crankcase engine oil like on 4-strokes.
- If parts interchange with Nissan-branded equivalents, always confirm using the exact model code and serial range before ordering.

FAQs
Are parts interchangeable between different years or platforms?
Some parts interchange across close model years and Nissan‑branded equivalents, but others are model‑specific. Always confirm with your exact model code and serial number before ordering.
When should I replace the water pump impeller?
As a rule of thumb every 2–3 seasons or about 200 hours. Replace sooner if the tell‑tale weakens, you operate in sandy/silty water, or after any overheat event.
How often should I change lower unit gear oil?
Change every 100 hours or annually, and always before off‑season storage. Inspect for water (milky oil) or metal debris; reseal the gearcase if contamination is found.
What information do you need to confirm part compatibility?
