[QUOTE="thill, post: 459241, member: 4972"] Have a boat I'm thinking about keeping, and it has an 80's Mercury Mariner 40 HP outboard. From what I can tell, this is one of the ones made by Yamaha for Mercury. I see the Yamaha logo (Three tuning forks) in a number of places on the motor. Has anyone here had one of these motors? What is your opinion of it? Strong or weak for it's HP rating? Reliable? I've had very good experiences with Yamahas in the past, but am always curious of others opinions. Compression is 120 psi on both cylinders, but it hasn't been started in probably 5 years, so will be curious to see what it needs, if anything. Probably a carb clean and fresh impeller. Here are a couple of pictures: [ATTACH type="full" alt="20181026_171434A.jpg"]99697._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20181026_171612A.jpg"]99698._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20181026_171635A.jpg"]99699._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
