Hi, I'm getting ready to buy a used outboard. The guys says it is a 2006-2007 15hp Mariner, however he himself does not know the year nor how to find the model number on the outboard.
He provided me with a partial S/N: D126461, and after searching a bit, I have a hunch that the actual serial number is as follows: 0D126461, and the outboard is an early '90s model and not a 2006ish as he claims.
Can someone please verify the year for me and also let me know how hard is it to find parts for this particular model/outboard in general, and how hard would it be for me to work on it (lower unit change, impeller, etc...)?
The guy wants $700 for it, and says he cannot find the fuel line/connection to run it for me... I'm beginning to think that this is gonna turn into a sketchy deal... suggestions...?
Here is a pic of it...
Even though it is hard to see from this picture, it has a red pin-stripe right underneath the words "MARINER"
Much appreciated...
Any suggestions appreciated thanks.
