"We've got a Mariner model
"We've got a Mariner model "40E",serial number 6E9 L 413086,"made in Japan". Any idea what year-model?
Is this another made-by-Yamaha-to-Mercury-specs engine and would a Mercury dealer be my best source for parts or is there a better source?
Does anyone know where a person could obtain a copy of the owners manual for this particular model?
Also,If it was going to be a month or more before a person could run their motor again should he disconnect the fuel line and run the motor out of gas before he stores it? (two cycle) I recently bought a two-cycle chain saw and the salesman/mechanic recommended that I run it out of fuel before I store it for more than a month so that the old fuel won't gum up the carburetor,etc. Is this reccommended for two-cycle boat motors too?
Thanks! Brian"
