Scotty, there were 3 different versions of the Mariner Magnum (all Mercury built models).
The Magnum 1 was based on Merc's 2.0 Litre block
The Magnum 2 the 2.4 litre block and
The Mag 3, the 2.5 litre block.
The Mag 3 (equivalent of Mercs XR6) was the best model to produce the 150 horses and be kind to the engine itself.
The 2.0's are one of my favourite Merc motors, but better suited to the 135 model.
The 2.4's were kinda orphaned by Merc (somebody didn't like the design I guess).
However, all models had solid ignition systems, good carbs and were generally well built motors.
Post the serial and we can figure out which model you have... |

Actually, I was wrong... These were horrible motors, but fortunately I'm a Merc authorized disposal center - you can send me the motor, freight prepaid of course, and I'll take care of it for you  |
