Mariner magnum 40hp

[speedmo]

Hi,<br />I've recently bought a mariner magnum 40hp. It is an after 1995 production engine. I havent test it yet and only saw it once in my friends garden (it looks like it is in top condition). <br /><br />I've made some search about this motor but could not find any info on that. What do you think about this engine? cons? pros? fuel consumption?<br /><br />Please tell me what you know.<br />take care<br /><br />ps: all I know is it is a 4 cylinder model with double carbs..

Its a good solid, and smooth running engine.<br />No major problems that I am aware of.

Re: Mariner magnum 40hp

MY friend said it has more of less the similar fuel consumption like a 2 stroke 25hp, what do you think about it? is it fuel efficient?

Re: Mariner magnum 40hp

I wouldn't bet on that.<br />It may be more efficient than motors from the sixties or seventies.<br />The only "efficient" motors out there are going to be the fourstrokes, and the optimax direct injection type motors.<br /><br />It should purr like a kitten though.
