Hi all...I am trying to do some work on this Mariner 30 H.P. outboard and do not know what year it is. The serial number is 69S 108426 Model # 30E0. I believe it is around 1990 but need to be sure to order a shop manual for this thing.<br />Also I am told that this is really a YAMAHA engine under the Mariner cover...Is this really true? All help is appreciated. :confused:

Well the only tag on the motor is on the bracket that holds it to the transom. It is a metal plate that says Model: 30E0 Ser: 108426 Code 69S. They are the only numbers on it. :(

Re: Mariner 30 hp/What year is it?

fone_man I sure hope you did not TYPE all that stuff just for my sake!!! My goodness I am definately going to print that out!! <br />I had to get an ignition module this summer(CDI BOX). I got 2 pieces wrong because the local dealer said that my serial number was no good at all.I can't figure why this is such a busride! I eventually got the right part but was then told that the 69s meant that it was a Yamaha engine under thr Mariner name for that year or so. I will take your information and go all over the engine in search of another number! Thanks alot for your time and help.<br />By the way where is the best place to get the best shop manual.<br />This engine keeps blowing out the CDI ignition box and I can't figure out why... :confused:

Re: Mariner 30 hp/What year is it?

I have checked all my sources so far... I have come up with the 2 digit numerical & 1 digit alpha EX: 67F under Yamaha but everything under Mariner is coming up 3 digit numerical EX: 689... I am at a loss. That does't mean your number is not correct, just a fluke that is not published.... As for typing all info in post... that is what "control + C" is great for... COPY!!!!<br /><br />Sorry I could not help but I will keep it on the back burner!<br /><br /> :(

Re: Mariner 30 hp/What year is it?

fone_man...I found a better number sequence on that Mariner 30 hp that you were helping me out on last weekend. It is a Mariner 30 hp Model : Mar 30-EO SERIAL number is: 689s108426. It has an OIL INJECTION cover on it.From the information you gave me is this a 1987??<br /> Thanks,<br /> Bill<br /> :p
