    Is there a pee hole on a force 1996 Force 75hp outboard ?

    There was a sticky post at the top of this forum about adding a telltale to a Force outboard, but it looks like the link is misdirected, which is why I suggested doing a search.....none of them came with a factory installed pee hole, pisser, or telltale...

    Is there a pee hole on a force 1996 Force 75hp outboard ?

    No, there is not a pee hole or "telltale" on Force outboards, at least not the kind that shoots a stream of water out that you could see while underway.....However one can be added if you want....do a search of this forum for "telltale".....several folks on here have done it.

    Co-Ownership Question . . .

    Big NO! Found out the hard way with my brother....I love him, but NO. Shortly after "buying in" to a relatively new Celebrity ski boat I had, he damaged the lower unit badly....he tried to fix it cheap...ended up spending big money at a marine repair shop.....there were...

    " The knobs on the ends of the spool are used to center the spool in the frame. They have no effect on spool tension whatsoever." Agreed.....however the tension knob on your basic baitcaster has no effect on spool centering as most spools are in a fixed position. It is used for adjusting the...

    "For maximum casting distance and minimal tendency of line over run, it is necessary to also adjust the tension knob to match the weight of the lure and angler preference.

    You got it.....somebody who is having trouble casting with a bait-caster should probably get a spinning reel...the spool doesn't move, so no overrun...

    "You see his method of adjusted parroted all the time but I strongly disagree." His method of adjusting the braking works well for the beginner who would not otherwise be able to cast without building "bird nests" on every cast. That is what the brake system is for....after a while you rely...

    Like the Quicksilver products for the old Chrysler.....but I am a fan of the WalMart Super Tech products for everything else....truck, car, lawn mowers, etc. Somebody once told me the best kind of oil is CLEAN oil......(y)

    "Last Question.. What Gear oil do I use for the lower?" My manual says use E.P. 90 gear lube.....should be the same for your Force 125....Quicksilver makes both a 80w90 (for 75HP and less) and a straight 90 for larger outboards. Have used both with no problems.

    I do.....the one in the pic....the cylinder itself is no good, but the head assembly with shaft and piston is good, was not leaking around the shaft at all. It should screw into your cylinder no problem. Got on here kinda late tonight, will check back tomorrow.

    Old air compressor?

    You are right bigdee....the combination of age, corrosion, and metal fatigue will take it's toll on a pressure cylinder over time.....the aviation industry is acutely aware of the problem, having many "time-life" components that at a certain amount of hours in service, the part is replaced and...
