"I am looking at a 1984 4 HP Mercury Mariner. The seller advises it starts right up and runs good. Travel time for me is over an hour so I'll need to decide on the spot about making the purchase. The asking price is under $300. Besides compression, are there any common failures or problem areas to pay close attention to? I am in inboard guy and am not well versed with outboard motors so any advice will be much appreciated. Thank You."
