So I had this lower unit off to replace the water pump. And now that its back together I'm getting water out the **** hole and three other spots in the lower unit. I don't recall any other water coming out of the lower unit before. So do you think I had too much water pressure or possibly the...
Hello, so im wondering if my 96 50 hp controls can be interchangeable with other force models? Such as maybe a 40 or 70 hp close to the same year. I found a 70, and I'm waiting to hear what year it is.
so I have a crack in the plate. Goes across a bolt hole and down the side. Im assuming this outboard was apart at one time and possibly over torqued. The question is should I grind it out and fill it with like a jb weld or look for a new or good used one? Thanks.
So this outboard has been nothing but a headache. Earlier this year I replaced the exhaust adapter plate gasket and other gaskets in there for the exhaust in the cowl problem. Got it all back together and ran great. A few weeks ago I had a fuel problem, wouldn't start. Today I had the time to...

Hello, i have a 86 25 hp merc and starts fine, will rev up fine but just seems like its running with the choke on or running on 1 cylinder. Then while running it will stutter a few times. And the stutter might take a while before it happens. By stutter i mean it sounds like it wants to go...
Im having issues as to where this purple wire goes. Last year i took pics of the harness area but this wire was tucked in so i didnt notice where it went. Im having issues uploading a damn pic. Ugh. Its the thicker of the two purples. The thinner purple wire i have going to looks like a grey or...
Hello everyone, spring is almost here!! So my father asked me to look into buying a new 40 HP outboard. He didn't specfy a brand. I found some off brand outboards probably from China. Any info on the ones in the title? Or any other brand? I'm pretty sure he don't want to spend 5 gs on an...
1996 Force 50 HP. The other week my tilt and trim stopped working. I tested the motor by jumping it to a battery and it worked fine. I could hear clicking from both my relays when actuating the switch on my throttle handle, But I still replaced both relays with no luck. So where should I look...
Hello all! I bought a 94 Tigershark and the fuel gauge is broke. It's an electronic gauge. My parts book shows a fuel gauge cap. The kind with a cork that goes up or down with fuel level. I'm wondering if a cap for a snowmobile would work?
Hello everyone! My first post and the title says it all. Starts fine but after a few minutes the engine dies from exhaust in the cowl. With the cowl off it runs fine. So after a bunch of reading I was thinking that the power head might have to come off and new gaskets installed. But I just read...
