    Torque specs for block halves?

    Can anyone confirm the torque specs for the block halves on a '94 Force 70? I'm hoping my pistons and rings show up today, and I'd like to throw it all back together. The outer block half bolts are the only ones I don't have the specs for, and a search hasn't yielded any results other than this...

    1994 Force 70 - powerhead removal

    Re: 1994 Force 70 - powerhead removal The plate on my toon says it's rated for up to a 125, so I could go bigger if I found a motor. I need to decide what I wanna do. When pulling the flywheel, the bolts pulled out of the threads, so I had to knock it off with a hammer. That broke the magnets...

    1994 Force 70 - powerhead removal

    I know I should buy a manual for this thing, but I'd like to snatch the powerhead off right now, and not have to wait for a manual to get here. Not to mention I'm not sure at this point that I even want to invest much more in this motor. I've had prop shaft issues which I'll start a new thread...

I ended up breaking the tabs off of the water pump base. At least I think that's what it's called.... Anyways, after looking online for a replacement...

    1994 Force 70, oil inside cowl

    I recently bought an older pontoon with a 70 horse Force on it. The boat had been sitting for awhile and ran a bit rough the first time out, mostly not wanting to idle well. I could also see a bit of oil on the side of the motor under the cowl. I replaced all fuel lines, cleaned the carb, and...

    Shift cable question

    Tried searching but couldn't find the answer..... I have a new to me boat. 88 model, mercruiser 5.0 and alpha one drive. Shift interrupt switch isn't being triggered. Seems the cables have too much slop to trigger it? I've tried adjusting them from directions I've found on the net, to no avail...
