Re: Selling my Mariner 225
 

Hooper,
Hate to hear about your motor blowing up. I'm extremely happy with my 1999 225 EFI. It has around 1400 hours now. If it did indeed throw a rod then the block is probably junk. You might get $500 in trade on a new Merc but that's about it. Good Luck.

Selling my Mariner 225
 

I am repowering soon, i hope, I am just waiting on the new engine to arrive. When it does, I will be selling my 1997 Mariner 225hp efi. It has 950 hrs on it and I have had some troubles with it. Having said that, I am not a mechanic, I fish. Therefore what is a big deal to me, may be not be to you....The reason I am repowering is the engine threw a rod and that was the final straw. this season, I was more consumed with getting my O/B back online than where the hot spot was offshore.

If there is nobody interested in it, does anyone know who might be? I am sure that there are people who look for blown engines to fix and re-sell.

There is still October ahead, maybe I can still make it a strong finish.....?

Hooper....not so fast! That lower unit is wioorth about $800. The electronics, efi unit, power tilt, etc are worth some damn good money. Put that baby on E-bay or part it out on E-Bay.
