I did a real quick lookup and I only saw single cylinder Mariner engine in the 5HP range for both 2-cycle and 4-cycle. Does that mean they didn't make anything but single cylinder engines in 5 HP range, I honestly don't know, but it looks that way. :noidea:

GM,that's what I'm beginning to believe , but I think I'm going to buy it anyway.I've got a post in the Merc./Mariner forum that will give the info on it.Check it out and let me know what you think.It's going on a 10 foot Bass Bandit
