Mariner 5hp 4 stroke sailmate

[sylvo]

Hi Guys & Gals,

I have the above motor which is new (came with my maxi craft 13 footer) only done about an hour with it, so far very impressed. I am looking at getting a tiller extension arm so any recommendations would be good.

If anyone has any experience of this engine be grateful for any tips.

I cannot seem to work out the shallow drive position, any ideas?

It came with a tool kit including a flushing adapter but no manual (I got the boat/engine and brand new trailer at a bargain price in the winter the manual was misplaced), does anyone happen to know the male thread size that goes into the flushing adapter for connecting to a hose pipe?

I am obliged

I don't know about this particular engine but shallow water drive positions are usually halfway to tilt and the usual mechanism is a sprung bracket of sorts, with a sort of u-shaped longitudinal profile, which rests on the pin that sets the trim angle when the engine is fully down.
