Thanks for the reply. Is there a Force / Chrysler / Yamaha cable available that would fit the black Mercury shifter laying below that the gray cables are going into?
I am trying to upgrade my boat with a Quick Silver remote control with the emergency stop pull cord. I bought a 881170A5 remote control with a set of cables. But, the cable attachments on the motor end are different. Are there brackets available to either use my current cables on my new...
Thanks for the feedback. I did get a manual. I will see about adding a pee tube, I have seen them but didn't know it was that easy. Should I be able to test the alarm by grounding the wire at the sensor? Maybe that's in the book, I haven't looked for it yet.
Well I tore the gear box apart and put all new seals in it. Finally got it back together tonight. Shifts much better now. There's not a lot of water coming out but there is some. I put a thermometer in the output ports and it stayed constant at 129 to 130 degrees. Once in a while it would drop...
I pulled the lower unit off and the shift rod does pull in and out fairly stiff. I turned the rod in all the ray and it went 4 1/2 turns. Then I threaded it all the way out and something must have shifted inside and now I can't get it threaded back in. I suppose now I might as well finish...
Would this unit work with my motor?

This would get me the kill switch and power trim switch.
I attached a few quick pics. The shift rod doesn't move hard but there is a bit of springy resistance at both ends of the travel. Unfortunately I don't have a service manual, my subscription expired, maybe I need to renew that. I don't know what you mean by turn the shift rod in and back out.
I have a Force 507X8B that I recently put on my older boat previously running an older 50 HP Force motor. The problem I have is I can't get it to shift to both forward and reverse. I can get one or the other but not both. The shifter I am using was originally from an older Chrysler setup but...
I did reach out to CDI tech support. They were very helpful, I ended up sending my unit back and they sent me a different one. Motor now runs on both cylinders. But, now I have shift issues. I will start a new thread on that.
Thanks everyone for your help!
Thanks @Nordin ! The new CDI does have a black wire and that came already attached to a mounting plate for the CDI. That plate is fastened to the engine block so I would think it is grounded but I can certainly check it easy enough. Otherwise I'll reach out to CDI tech support.
Well spring is here so starting at my boat project again... last fall I fried one of the CDI units after wiring up the ignition switch wrong. Bought a replacement and tried to install it today. Original is no longer available so the replacement is from CDI Electronics. Not a direct replacement...
I replaced my 507X5A with this 507X8B that I bought used out of ebay. I wired it up per the colors but I wonder if something is different at the switch than my old motor. Two issues now: 1) Coils smoked badly and smell of smoke. 2) Motor started right up but would not shut down with the switch...
Novice here looking for help on prop ID and selection. Below is a link to a picture of the two props I have. With either one I am having trouble getting up on plane. The numbers don't seem to correspond to the typical Diameter/ Pitch. So I am hoping someone here can help me identify them so I...
