Mariner Identification

[Treecatcher]

I've just bought a boat with a Mariner outboard but I'm struggling to identify the engine. It's a two stroke, I'm guessing somewhere between 30 and 50hp, the Serial No. is either 06125254 or OG125254. The second digit is indistinct, the first digit looks like a zero and the rest of the numbers are clear.

Can anyone help with identification? I can add photos if that will help

Thanks

Pictures and more pictures makes it easy.

I tried uploading a pic of the serial number and outboard but received a message saying I'm not authorised, any suggestions, is there another way of adding pics?

If you make a couple of more post you can upload pictures.
Just replying to this post will work.

0G125254.

0G125254 is coming up as an MARINER 30 MLH/ALT model # 7031217DF which makes the year out to be 1995.

http://www.iboats.com/MARINER-30-HP-2-CYL-1994-1999/dm/view_id.1696307 or for a parts guide with working images search online model number 7031217DD or parts manual part number 90-808744 94.

If the number/letter in question would of been a 6 then that belongs to a Mercruiser MC1 stern drive unit.

Thanks for the replies they have been very helpful, as soon as I am allowed I will try and post some images.

As far as I can see it is not a Mercruiser MC1 stern drive so I'm leaning towards the 1995 MARINER 30 MLH/ALT. Unfortunately I've not been able to find an image of one to confirm. Can you tell me what the MLH/ALT signifies?

I've tried again to post an image but still not allowed, I will keep trying

Sorry if the info provided confused you some, it was more meant as general info had it been a 6 vs G.

M = Manual ROPE START
L = LONG SHAFT (20")
H = TILLER HANDLE STEERING
/ALT....I don't really know on the ALT designation but it won't stand for Alternator.

* MODEL TYPE CHART​
M	ROPE START	PT	POWER TRIM
L	LONG SHAFT (20")	XL	EXTRA LONG SHAFT (25")
E	ELECTRIC START	C/R	COUNTER ROTATION
H	TILLER HANDLE STEERING	EXL	EXTRA ETRA LONG SHAFT (30")
O	OIL INJECTION	OS	OFFSHORE MODEL
Short & Long	BOTH SHORT & LONG MODELS	EFI	FUEL INJECTION
TR	TRACKER DECALS	TRMM	TRACKER by MERCURY DECALS
4-S	4 STROKE	BEL	BELGIAN-MADE for US MARKET
C/R	COUNTER ROTATION

The below info should help with better terminology of stern drive vs outboard, etc..

No Title

Ah now for some pics

Thanks to Fun Times for all the info as you can see I'm a bit of a novice at this.

A couple of points on the MLH designation.

It does have a pull start but also an electric start, I guess this could have been added?

I'm not sure about the length of the shaft, can you tell from my pics?

It is not a tiller steer, could this also have been a modification?

It is a two stroke and looks very much like the one in the is advert,

Except it doesn't have any indication of Hp rating on the cowl or engine and the decal is different

Thanks again for your help
