Hello, I was wondering whether anyone had a service manual (paper or digital) for a Mariner 2M / Yamaha 2B outboard they would be willing to share or sell to me?

All, I am looking at a Mariner outboard. Unfortunately, with no previous experience (this is a first boat) and not much information about the engine itself, it is hard for me to estimate how long it will last me!. So I am looking for clues! It is an 8hp Mariner - 2 cylinders, standard shatf (i.e not long).

It has a generator; is a 2 strokes and has throtle on its tiller. It is a pull start. Forward and reverse gears. The only reference I have found on the engine is 8MLH/Alt It starts well and seems to run fine (in a tank). I believe it is between 6 and 8 years old. Would anybody recognise the model? How old can it be?
