"Lost Motor"1983 Mariner

[dean carpenter]

This poor motor, mariner name-yamaha built-mercury claimed. From what I have been told, this motor was built in Japan and popular in Europe. Everytime I look for parts my head spins! Does anyone or has anyone owned one of these motors that can help me run down the proper part numbers? Maybe there is a specific web site that concentrates more on this confusing motor. Any help would be much appreciated. 25 CM ss#695 S 000 257

I have a 40 hp jap mariner. It is really hard to find parts. I found a carb rebuild kit on maxrules.com The tech, Bill, helped out a ton.
I also found this web site, serial numbers look familar

also i have replaced parts with old yamaha parts, its hard to find the correct match, but there out there. a pilot jet from a Yamaha 1984 model 40 SN fit my mariner.
Good luck

check out boats.net and compare the Yamaha and Mariner part diagrams you will find that in most cases they are the same part but w/ different #'s Mariner discontinued most of there stock because yamaha was the one who made them anyway
