    97 force 90 hp trim tilt opinion?

    So I finally was able to take some pictures. The on in it’s side is a two wire pump, which is what I had on my motor. The new transom assembly I purchased on eBay came with a 3 wire and it looks brand new. I want to use the new. I’m assuming the third wire is just a ground.

    1997 90 hp rebuild project

    I ended up ordering a .020 kit from WSM. I remember reading somewhere but can’t find it, that milling the head .065 and mill exhaust will help improve flow. Block is at machine shop and they are also chamfering the intake and exhaust ports. Anything else I should do to block?

    The main steering pivot shaft had froze. In order to replace it the power head needs to be removed. Crank looks fine but figured if the block is going to shop maybe have them look at it. No noticeable ridge at top of bore. Maybe catch a little with my nail.

    Agreed, All the parts you mentioned is about $1,000.00 not sure if its worth putting into this motor. It runs great, good compression, electronics are not cracked or heat soaked.

    Yes it is. I'll take a look thanks I was easy with the heat because of worries on melting bushings. There are a total of 8 zerks on the bracket. So I’m assuming someone has been at it before I bought the boat. The bottom of king pin is rotted as well and retaining ring is sitting on lower...
