[Shakkari]

I was given a Mariner 5 HP Serial # 661 S 032281. I would like to know it's manufacture date. As I would like to get a service manual and start working on the motor as a winter project Thanks.

(in my very bad Maxwell Smart voice) Missed it by THAT much!

It is a 1980 model, 20" shaft.

Thanks for all the help . Now I can get the manual and start stripping it down. Did the same with a 1964 Johnson 3HP . Getting pretty good with it.
