crankshaft serial number location
Can anyone tell me where the serial number is located on a crankshaft? Is it actually stamped on the crank or is it just in the paperwork? Thanks. Doug

Re: crankshaft serial number location
TCM crankshaft serial numbers are stamped upon the propeller flange, sometimes with an engraving pencil. Look on the outer flange, and/or beneath the prop hub.
From TCM MSB99-3C, Crankshaft inspection: CRANKSHAFT SERIAL NUMBER IDENTIFICATION
Crankshaft serial numbers incorporate a manufacturing date. Crankshafts produced in 1998 may be identified
as follows:
Code:
All crankshafts with serial numbers beginning with the letters A through L (Jan. through Dec.) in the first
position and the year code 98 in the fourth and fifth position are affected. This serial number is stamped on the
propeller flange.
