    40 Mariner all of a sudden no start with key

    My early 80’s Mariner 40 has been running great. Last weekend I turned the key to start and got nothing. I check battery strength, cleaned terminals, replaced solenoid, and inline fuse. If I jump the solenoid, it cranks. If I turn the key and push in for the choke, I can hear it engage. Good...

    Mariner ID and Lower Unit

    I have a 40 HP Mariner- 40 EL 6E9 L 423576 Can anyone confirm this is a 1986? I have lower unit water intrusion. I pressure tested the lower unit and it failed to hold 10 psi. While re-filling with gear oil, it leaked out the water pickup areas and out the prop hub. Looking at the price...

    1980's Mariner with obsolete lower unit part

    Well it was that time of year yesterday, and I pulled our pontoon. When I drained the lower unit gear oil, I unfortunately had water in it. This boat/motor were new to me last year and at the end of the season I had some work done by a local shop and they supposedly drained and refilled the...

    Connector to fuel filter hose size?

    I have a 1987 Mariner 40 ELO and need to replace the fuel line from the connector on the motor back to the fuel filter on the block. Part # is 84956M but it and some numbers it superseded to are obsolete. When it was available it was only $5, so it must be a common size right? Any idea on the...

    Another what year is my Mariner 8hp

    Sorry guys, but trying to order a prop. Motor was sold to me as a 1987, but I think it may be a 1983 (there is a difference between a "pin" and "spline" drive in prop selection). Serial # 677 S 057030

    1987 8hp Mariner

    Going to order a prop from Iboats today for this motor. It will be used as a kicker for my 15 foot bowrider (for the time being, but later may be used on a small aluminum ). What was the standard pitch this motor came with? What should I get?

    1979 Mariner 40

    I have what I believe to be a 1979 Mariner 40 ( 676 BL 40211) which runs great. Looking to do some preventative maintenance by replacing the water pump among other things. I am having problems finding a place stocking these old parts. Am I SOL or is there a good place to find parts for this...

    Help Pontoon flooring

    I purchased a used Lowe 24' pontoon boat last spring. The seller had replaced the flooring at some point with what he said was marine grade plywood. Instead of carpet, he used a vinyl flooring. Only problem is he did not properly get the vinyl flooring to the edge of the plywood in a few spots...

    703 controls conversion?

    I am looking at purchasing a Yamaha 25hp outboard with 703 controls. The current owner has the controls side mounted near or on the rail of his pontoon. My pontoon has a console and I would like to put the controls on the right side there. Can these controls be reversed or converted? Thank you.
