How old is this outboard?

[Guest]

I am thinking of buying a second hand Mariner 2 outboard. The man I am buying it from cannot tell me the age of the engine but he has given me the engine no. Can anyone tell me how old this engine is from the following number - 6A1 050948
Regards

Try calling your Mariner agent with the serial number, he might manage to help.
