Mariner 6 questions.

[altomari8868]

Hi all,
I just got my hands on a Mariner 6. I have 3 questions I am hoping for some help on:
1) is there a way to know the year and make. The area it is supposed to be is gone... I have looked everywhere. Is there a place that I could look for a picture of the cover it has and try and match it up? If it says 6 is it a 6 hp..
2) is it a 50-1 oil mix
3) 3rd and final, any information on this motor would be appreciated...
Thank you for your time......

From the information you have provided its difficult to answer any questions except #2.


Yes, 50:1 oil mix.

If you are lucky and it is a later model, you should find a s/n disc like this on the lower right side of the powerhead:

Re: Mariner 6 questions.

Post internal pics for a better identification. If happen to be a newer version, could be a rebadged Tohatsu same HP model under current production as for spare parts availability.-
