    '88 Force 50 HP Manual

    Just bought a 1988 Bayliner Capri 14' with 50 HP Force outboard yesterday. Got it off Craig's List for $350!!! It was filthy and the engine isn't running. Almost positive the starter is bad, but don't know beyond that. Does anyone have a downloadable manual for this motor? Thanks, Tim
