Mariner outboard

[JFISHER]

Hi all,
New to ribs and sibs,
Got my first question for ya all. Hopefully someone can help
I have just purchased and old mariner 25hp 2stroke.
Unfortunately it has no throttle cables from the tiller so I am looking for some cables for it.

I’ve also been told they are a bit of a boggle to fit so I wondered if anyone had a tiller with cables already on it spare for sale in the uk struggling to find the true age but the serial plate says:
mariner 25CE
695-S250344
Made in Japan.

Thanks all in advance !

Welcome & that's a good first task to get going on !

I used to have a 25 merc on remotes & changed it to tiller . It was I thin about a 2004 engine .

Merc used to do a kit of parts for the conversion - but are you saying yours has been converted already but you just missing the cables ?

there are various different control arms between remotes & tiller ( is it the one with gear & throttle on the same tiller control ? )

They are also a bugger to set up correctly to get the gear selection to come in before the throttle arms move - but doable with patience !

I'd suggest have a look at the RIBS marine website - they have diagrams of all the merc / mariner engines on there with part numbers & then maybe a call to them to see what they cost !... hard to find used parts unless you are really really lucky....

Welcome aboard JFISHER, glad you’ve found us

Looks like Peter has kindly jumped in and assisted and to be honest if there’s anything knocking about for your outboard he’d probably have it in his man cave

Cracking community, great members...
enjoy !!

I used to have the kit to reverse from tiller to remotes. But as is the way..I thought... no one will ever need that..... I'll give it 3 wks before someone posts needing it.. and I've lost it or gifted it at some point...

Thank you both for the welcome appreciate it! And yes peter it has a tiller but no cables at the moment I think it was on remotes left on the back of an unused boat for a while then the bloke I bought it from took the remotes of and stuck an old spare tiller on it. Also it is just the throttle on the tiller, then gear is just a lever on the side. I will have a look around and on the site you suggested found a few sites but most want about £30 a cable and £70 for a tiller as it’s all new stuff.
Thanks again for the help much appreciated !!
