150hp Mariner motor

I am looking at a 96 boat with a 150 Mariner motor. The guy tells me it was made by Mercury and Mercury parts will fit and any Mercury shop can work on it.

Is that true?

Any pros or cons on that make/year model

Thanks

Merry Christmas

PLEASE don’t mix it up like you did last year

That is correct, it’s a Mercury with a gray cover.

Cracker…aren’t there some years that are Yamaha? Or am I mistaken?

The early Mariners were Yamaha. I had a 91 60 hp mariner that was like Cracker said, Mercury with a grey paintjob.

Yamaha made some of their smaller engines for a while, but they were under 40 hp. Anything over 40 is a Mercury.
