    Water splashing over transom

    Likely that the motor is mounted too low. Anti ventilation plate just above the propeller, should be a little above the bottom of the hull. See bottom red line in the diagram below. When on plane, the water coming from under the hull, should go under this plate, the top of the plate should be...

    Are there any thoughts on the best manufactured years for Lund boats?

    Except for the bad transom models from a few years back. 1999-2006 had a bunch of materials related transom issues. Genmar made Lunds used cheap plywood. Genmar sold Lund to Brunswick for the 2007 model year and the issue was taken care of by using better ply and processes. Plenty of info on...

    Well, my actual experience was with a new 4500# 2016 tow vehicle rated to tow 3500#. I was towing 2000# with 500# of humans inside the tow vehicle. Coming down a hill in a tourist town, 25mph, crosswalk full of people at the bottom of the hill. Could NOT stop. Luckily the road cleared and no...

    Cant accelerate past 2800 rpm

    Look for fuel system blockage. From the fuel pickup in the tank, the hose, the primer bulb, fuel pump screen, all the way to the carbs.

    Need some way of identifying model # for a 1990 Force 90HP

    Blue Fin, spectrum, brunswick, fisher, and.... have all been bought-sold-relocated-combined-split up, several times over the last 30 years. I doubt you will find any shipping or sales records from boats sold 30 years ago.

    steering cable?

    Buy an entire helm with cable. You can often get a really got price that way. $160-$200 And you will be certain to get the correct cable. You're gonna have to remove the motor either way.

    Need some way of identifying model # for a 1990 Force 90HP

    There you go. I vote for 806F90C. The model number changed every time the used a part from a different supplier. I can't believe you have to register that motor.

    Need some way of identifying model # for a 1990 Force 90HP

    Often the starter has a tag with info on it, but probably faded by now. What specifically do you need the model number for? Photos of ignition plate and fuel pump should help to verify.

    Replaced stater and rectifier, still no spark in one cyl

    If the spark would not jump a .030 gap, there is the issue. I would swap your # 1 coil assembly with your #2 coil assembly. Then check for spark again. If the issue moved to #1 cylinder, then you need a new coil. I'm pretty sure the plug wire is part of the coil, so don't try pulling them apart.
