need an opinion on a motor please

[bassman]

I'm considering purchasing a 1996 Mariner 115HP outboard.

Apparently this 4 cylinder motor only uses 2 cylinders when running under 20kmh, and 4 cylinders over 20kmh.

Have you guys heard of this before? What are your opinions on this motor?

 

Please and thanks

Yes I believe you are correct on this one, they also had 115- in line 6 cylinders, that ran on 3 at low speed. That function on his 6 was a major gremlin, some days it worked, others it was a total cluster*&*, got so bad he never went without a kicker to bring him back.
