    tilt & trim

    The tilt and trim work independently.....when the trim reaches it's limit the tilt cylinder takes over. If your engine bleeds down (won't stay up) take a look at the top of this forum in the FAQ section......there are several threads about trouble shooting the T&T system there......

    Need help with the starter

    I would keep the original starter for sure......they can be cleaned/overhauled and will be better than most any new one you can buy. Lots of China made stuff out there that is low quality/junk.

    Need to clarify this statement......I found the tach I wanted on the Faria website but they don't sell them on there. You have to find a dealer or look on amazon, ebay, etc. Iboats supposedly sells them, but I couldn't find any when I looked. FYI.....

    This is a new stator for your motor......count the poles all the way around.....there are 12 on this one. For a traditional dash mounted tach I got mine from Faria Beede website. I also got a Tiny Tach on ebay just to verify rpms were correct......and they are handy to have when working on...

    1989 Force 125hp propeller torque

    These quotes are from the late Frank A. (RIP).....he gives a great explanation for proper prop nut torque....... "The prop nut should be a nylock self locking nut and a little past snug should be tight enough. If the lower unit uses the Mercury style nut with tabbed locking washer, the nut...

    Booze and boat don’t always mix well.

    "But Ossifer, that beach just jumped out in front of me, I swear....." Sadly, boating and drinking go hand in hand for a lot of folks.......

    Force 125 Trim Motor working, but I think it should go higher

    At the top of this forum in the FAQ section there are a couple threads about trouble shooting the T&T system.......usually the leak down is caused by bad seals in the valve body at the bottom of the pump assembly.

    1987 Force 125 tower shaft linkage frozen/seized

    #32 is the shift pivot pin and is further down on the bullet shaped part of the LU and is in a recessed hole......removing it won't damage anything but could require complete disassembly of the LU to get the gear shift arm #45 back in place (after it falls out of place after removing #32)...

    Chrysler 75hp, need direction.

    That's pretty much how it is......they open late. But if you watch the distributor it is advancing the whole time before the throttle plates open fully at WOT......it's like ....magic! Lol.
