    Is this Force 40 Cracked Upper adapter Plate repairable?

    I doubt it's fixable unless you can find someone who's really talented welding aluminum. Google; OUTBOARD SALVAGE YARDS, There's a lot of old motor salvage places in the mid west.

    85 force lower unit drain plug

    Idle: 800 in gear, 1050-1100 . Do the Starting Fluid test. Start the motor, spray SF around the intake side of the motor, under the packs/coils and the base of the carbs. If the spray makes a difference in the way it runs?? then it's sucking air somewhere.

    1988 Gamefisher Model 255.581750 Spark issue

    Usually if the coil tests good it's is. The points and sandpaper: sandpaper usually works but sometimes the points need to be filed clean. Check the continuity. The condensers might need changing.

    85hp charger speed/prop/rpm concerns

    All the numbers you posted tells me that you might have too much motor for the size boat you have??? Loading the boat with another person and the equipment needed might slow it down a little? Finding a 23p prop might be tough??

    1990 Dual Force 120s one side showing 16.7v at speed with dual batteries

    Using Deep Cycle and regular batteries together might be part of the problem. The charging system on a Force isn't really meant to charge Deep Cycle batteries. It can do damage to the charging system.

    1998 Force 90 ELPT by Mercury Marine

    It sounds like the first 2 shops were afraid of the Force??? Zero vacuum on the pump: B*&^#$%T if you had compression you had to have vacuum to operate the pump.
