    1988 force 125 filling bottom cylinder with fuel

    My boat has been running perfect the last month thanks to all the help on here but today I went to go out striper fishing and it ran like crap from the first start. Only runs at idle or WOT and then it cuts back and bogs from time to time. When I got back to the dock i pulled the plugs and the...

    1988 force 125 trim and tilt bleeding down fast

    Finally got my Force 125 running like a champ thanks to all the help on here. When I got the boat the trim/tilt motor didn't work and was half disconnected from the base. So it got water in the system. I have ready that the base with one port down and 3 ports facing the transom mount is a...

Took it out to the pond this evening and it vibrates the whole boat between low to mid rpm range. If I open it up more it's nice and smooth. Vibration comes...

    1988 glastron z17 floor replacement

    I just bought a 1988 glastron z17 on a 2 year old shorelander trailer with a 125 force on the back for $700. The middle section of the floor is gone and I have 3 sheets of 5/8 zip panel left over from a roofing job and I'm wondering if it is guaranteed to be on a roof uncovered for 10 years as...

    Trying to identify a boat I just bought

    I just traded my 14' 1961 lone star Malibu with the original 35hp evinrude on the back even swap for a 21' fiberglass with an 88 hp Johnson on it. Now my problem is identifying it. It was sold to me as a 76 cathedral v but I'm guessing that would be the model which I can't find anywhere online...
