What you have is a Japanese built mariner from the Yamaha factory. It departed the assembly line in 1984.

Merry Christmas.

So when I search for parts should I be looking for mariner parts or would parts from a 1984 yamaha fit.

I have never sat them side by side and compared but i am confident that they are identical. That being said, it is your money, not mine. Contact sierra and check their catalog. If the motors are the same, they will have the same part number for the mariner and the yamaha.

Here is a link to your engine breakdown at Crowley for Model 30A engines in the s/n range of 689-40126 thru 689-411946:

Your impeller is p/n 47-84797M or if you prefer Sierra, 18-3067 seen here under the Yamaha listing:

Let us know if this works for you.

All the pre 1990 Mariner/Yamaha engines in the following hp's(20/25/28/30) use the same impeller(18-3067)..
