The ID plate reads: Mariner 25 M, Serial # 695 S 016461 Would like to find out year so I can order correct water pump parts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also is this a job a beginner can do? I used a hose to attach to the motor and pee hole does not provide strong stream. Should I use a large bucket instead of hose. Sorry for all the questions but I've got a lot to learn from all you experts.<br />Thanks again.
