Mariner 25EFI charging

Hi all,

Anyone know what is involved in getting power out of this outboard? As I understand things, there is a factory loom available that connects from the internal harness to the outside world, however I cannot seem to find any pictures or anything that shows this or how it hooks up etc.

If anyone has any ideas or a service manual showing what is involved I would be most grateful.

You need a lighting/charging coil. Your Mariner main dealer will be able to advise. You will need outboard serial number. Think it's around £25.

Having seen the dollar price for the kit, I think I will give it a miss.

Must be solid gold and diamond studded!
