Struggling for spares? Some engines from different makes are the same...

If you’re struggling to get hold of a spare part for an outboard engine, it’s worth bearing in mind that some engines were made in the same factory, but badged with numerous different marques. One example is the Mariner 2hp from the 70s and 80s, which was also sold by Yamaha. The spare parts are identical, and so may be more readily available from one manufacturer.
