1996 Mariner 2 Stroke details

[Richardnhunt]

Hi all

I am trying, and failing, to find the weight information for a Mariner 1996 2 stroke - 60hp engine owned by our Sea Scouts. I know it is heavy, but thats not a lot of help now we are looking to replace it's trailer!

Anyone able to point me in the right direction - a couple of frustrating hours of searching have led to knowing the gap on the spark plugs and the gear ratio but not how much the whole thing is likely to weigh!

cheers

Is it a Bigfoot model?

Weight is 98kg standard or 107kg for the Bigfoot version.

The Bigfoot has a gear ratio of 2.3:1 and the standard gearbox is 1.64:1.

Spark plug gap is 1mm or 0.040in in old money.

Cheers - standard gear box - so appreciate that. Any particular reference site I should be looking at for this info?

Not that I found.

I rebuilt a pair of them so I bought a manual.

This site hosts the fiche which helps a lot but as A1an said you really need a manual

These are really good (dealer copys)

Cheers - is there a good source for buying a dealers service manual? Or are these the holy grail? :-)

Cheers
