Hello!
I am looking to buy a Mariner 40hp but the owner doesn’t know the year... can someone help me on that.
MARINER 40ELO serial seems to be 6E9 L 431648

Thanks in advance!
 
Manufactured in 1988 so now 30 models years old.

Mechanically identical (clone of) 1981 Yamaha model 40 FE - so vintage to say the least.

I would consider the age very carefully when trying to determine a fair price. And if it's just "running but needs a little work" you may want to reconsider unless they are essentially giving it away.

These motors were Yamaha's that were mostly discontinued when they were re-branded as Mariners for Mercury. Well built engines but support/parts for them is getting more and more scarce. You can still usually find a carb kit and an impeller but other parts are getting difficult to come by.
