Mariner 90 HP circa 1998

Guys

Looking at buying this engine. very little use. Whats it worth as a private buy realistically without controls. Again there is an option to buy it with a set of controls that have been used once.

Advice gladly appreciated.

cheers Buzzin

Check that the stator is red, I got caught with a 75 with less than 20 hours, ran twice for me then stator died, cost £300 to put a new one on which is not the end of the world but a bit percentage of £1500! It is apparently a known issue on these engines.

Since then mine has been superb!
