Re: What is it?
It is the keyless ignition. The early design was a rectangle, and the later design was a circle. The quick guide to using it is to enter the code, hit the "Run" button, which will start your blower running, and after a minute or two, hold the start button and your engine will start! To stop the engine, press the stop key, and to lock the system, enter the code again and hit stop.
We have the instruction manual for this keyless ignition system in our Original Mariah Manuals & Supplements section, which is available to contributors. Click the Donate button to find out the info!
For your other questions, the "small engine" is the 5.7L engine, which is reported to push the boat between 46-52 MPH. We'll need to know if it's MPI or Carb'd before we can give the HP rating. The Z model is the top of the line package, and there are many distinguishing factors besides the windshield wiper (which was only available on the cuddy models). Here's the list.
1. Hand sculpted fiberglass cockpit liners with integral storage
2. two tone custom hull and deck gelcoats
3. stainless steel docking lights
4. stainless steel anchor rope chocks on foredeck
5. windshield defogger on driver side
6. mileage counter with reset button in dash
7. sony CD stereo with storage, and 4 speakers
8. circuit breaker panel with reset buttons
9. transom mounted courtesy light on swim platform
10. instrument panel dimmer switch
11. positive latch "indy" style stainless steel fuel cap
12. automatic power radio antenna
13. automatic power anchor light with SOS function
14. custom made waterproof clock in dash
15. external transom mounted engine tilt switch
16. analog electronic fluxgate compass
17. two additional courtesy lights
18. table standard on most z models
19. keyless entry ignition system
20. power adjustable driver bucket seat standard on SS models
21. electric sundeck hatch lifter on SS models
22. power bolsters on 250, Z250, Z270, Z272, Z275 and Z302
23. all mariah standard features.
If your boat doesn't have all of these, then it's not a Z model!
