I am contemplating buying a used Sylvan Boat with a 115 hp Mariner Motor. Are there any special problems or cautions with Mariner Motors? Why are they no longer manufactured?<br /><br />bbq
What year Mariner? Nothing wrong with them. Plenty of parts still available. Some older ones were made by Yamaha, I believe and the newer ones had alot of Mercury parts.
As I understand it, they are still manufactured but only marketed outside the US. I hear they are pretty much a merc with gray paint. I have a '91 200hp and I like it. I've only had it a few months but have no complaints.
