    Force 85hp Tilt/Trim Pipe Connections?

    I have an 85hp Force (circa 1990) with tilt/trim that I bought as a non-runner. The tubes to the tilt/trim motor were disconnected so I've put them back onto the pump where they seem to have come from but I'm experiencing strange behaviour.<br /><br />When trimming 'up' the trim piston works...

    Force 85hp...lower leg moves????

    I picked up a new (to me) boat this week with an 85hp Force which was sold as a non-runner. <br /><br />I have the engine running now but I've noticed that the lower leg moves for and aft when you push/pull it. Is this right? On removing the engine cover I could see the whole engine rocking on...

    Oil level plug on Evinrude 4hp??

    I have a 4hp Evinrude (I think it's from the 70's) and want to change the oil in the gearcase.<br />There is a drain plug but I can't see an oil level plug (my 50hp Evinrude has both). Do you fill these smaller engines differently?

    Propeller Shear Pin

    I've just bought a (cheap) Evinrude 4hp to use as an auxiliary (s/n 43B36c B36824 made in Belgium). I guess from looking at it that it's a 70's model.<br /><br />The engine came with the prop off and I'm not sure it's the right one (although it's plastic and seems to fit ok). The prop shaft has...

    4hp won't idle and cuts out

    I've just bought a (cheap) Evinrude 4hp to use as an auxiliary (s/n 43B36c B36824 made in Belgium). I guess from looking at it that it's a 70's model. It hadn't been run for a couple of years but I managed to get it going this morning using a drill with a friction pad on the flywheel. <br...

    Shift change oil seal - renewal

    I seem to have an oil leak into the chamber above the lower leg. It's definitely gear oil and it collects around the gear change shaft. I've changed the oil seal below the water pump and I'm sure the oil seal where the gear change shaft goes into the leg is duff. Anybody know how to get at this...
