It proves it! If you're considering buying an outboard, whatever the si/e, you'll have noticed that almost every manufacturer promises greater reliability as an important reason for selecting their engine instead of someone else's! At Mariner, we prefer to deal in proof, not promises. That's why you may be interested to know that after a stringent, lengthy and punishing programme of engine evaluation, the RNLI have chosen Mariner power.

Why7 Because the one thing their fleet of inflatable rescue boats must have above all else, is ultimate engine reliability — and as their test programme proved, Mariner has it! OUTBOARDS •. ,/- • ' ** .*:.; The R.N.L.I. is completely financed by voluntary contributions.
