"Hello all.
I think the post title says it all.
I'm not new to the regular mercs. I've worked on the older "towers of power" many times on my older boat.
I came across a 1995 115hp mariner with low hours and great condition at a VERY good price, so I picked it up to replace my old mid 60s 650.
I've seen things that say the mariner is just a rebranded merc, others that say they are the same engine, but were merc's saltwater series before they actually had a saltwater version of Merc (meaning internal coatings to prevent excess salt damage to the cooling).
Basically I just need to know if there is anything I should be ready for in dealing with this motor. Well, other then an electrical change to my boat harness...
Thanks in advance!"
