Mariner 3.3 o/b info required!

Hi, I'd be really grateful if someone was able to clarify whether the Mariner 3.3 2 stroke was ever sold as just a forward gear model? I know the 2.5 has no neutral, but thought all 3.3's had forward & neutral gear shift lever.
Many thanks. RR.

Thanks for the replys. I think I've been sold a 2.5 under a 3.3 hood- teach me to use ebay
I just wanted to make sure that the older models weren't a direct drive forward gear only as he's trying to tell me. I can't find any reference to such an outboard on the web, hence asking here! Thanks again. If anyone knows to the contrary, and such an outboard does exist, I'd be grateful to hear from them! Regards. RR.

I may be interested if you want to sell the 3.3hp cowl.


(And no, I don't have a 2.5hp motor which could soon be for sale....)

The bloke's agreed to give me my money back, so beware of 2.5/ 3.3's coming up for sale on ebay again soon in the Newbury area

Thanks all. RR.

There is a restrictor in the Carb throat on the 2.5. Very easy to get 3.3 out of it...
