    Anyone removed cup from prop ?

    I have a 15 pitch stainless prop for my outboard... picked it up used for cheap. runs faster out of the hole than my 15 pitch aluminum but it is a little slower top end. I'm not too concerned about top end but the thing I have noticed it that it is harder to steer with it on. Stainless...

    Force 125 stainless prop

    I picked up a 15 pitch Michigan stainless prop the other day for pretty cheap. Been looking for a long time - hard to find that pitch. Didn't give them too much b/c i couldn't test it for spun hub, etc. I haven't tested it yet b/c the thrust washer doesn't hit flush with the back of the...

    going to help my dad tomorrow - force 125

    my dad has a '88 force 125. He's never had a lick of trouble with it in the 20 years he has had it. last time we were out at the end of the year it was running weird and it wouldn't idle at a normal speed ... more like 2000 rpm or around there. I'm guessing something came loose on the...

    i fired up the boat ('86 Force 125) the other day and the primer bulb was all cracked...so I picked up one at the local marine place for 22.00 - I was thinking 5-10 bucks. Wow I thought that was high, and the lady explained about EPA regulation on new ones. Hate how the EPA does stupid stuff...

    Can I put U-Bolts here for Skiing and Tubing ?

    Hi Guys, this is the back of my 1985 bayliner.... can I put a 2nd set of u-bolts in the blue section ? I'm guessing the transom stops at the white but I wasn't sure. I think I would be OK to hook up in the blue for skiing - but not sure about tubing. I have one of those booster balls...

    Maintenance Free Battery ?

    I apologize if this was covered but I couldn't find anything in the stickys or search. I talked with CDI about a new Stator today - i have an '85 Force 125 and I'm pretty sure the stator is fried based on open loop ohm readings. Anything the tech guy at CDI said that they don't recommend an...

    1988 Bayliner Cobra

    Hi Guys, was is the value of a 1988 Bayliner 18' Cobra. The hull is in good condition- some fading - but better than average, the force 125 runs close to new. The seats are getting pretty cracked but still function. Floor has some soft spots. Has original trailer (some rust). Just...
