Re: Mariner Engines Anyone?
Hi Ted-
My disaster took place with a 1997 225 Mariner efi. I bought it with 850 hours on it, maybe my first mistake... but the guy is meticulous with his gear, so I bit. The long and short of it, I spent most of the summer awaiting marina service and for all the cash I dumped into it to fix you name it, the engine blew a rod in September. A fine how do you do! I did not have a positive experience with my Mariner at all. Not to say this will happen to you of course. But mine was also very loud. I have a brand new 225 Evinrude and it is really quiet, yet in comparison to my old Mariner, a B-Series Cummings diesel would be too!
Sorry Ted, I had to pipe in. I just cringed when I see a Mariner posting that's all...
