First off, dang good section to add to the forum! Question, is there a way to take a model number off a motor to find out what the manufactuers weight is? I have a man interested in my 60hp Mariner, he has come by to hear it run and even ran a compression check. Compression checked out to be around 90lbs per cylinder (that good?). Anyway, because the motor has had about 7 years of "sitting time" we both suspect the rubber in the impeller should be replaced, along with going through the carb with a bit of cleaner and a new set of gaskets. These are minor problems and should be expected of a motor 26 years old. The motor itself still fires up first hit of the starter and sounds pretty good. He is very interested in buying the motor, but is wondering what the weight of it is. He is trying to scale down a bit and thinks it might be a little too heavy for what he needs. He had brought a set of bathroom scales that gave us varied weights, from 204lbs, down to 188lbs.
I'm wondering if there is anyway to track the model to find out it's weight?
