    Bilge area under the deck shows rot? on 1998 Sundance 19' CC

    There is a (drain)hole on the bow side of the bilge area which is at the lowest part in the back of the boat. I assume it is a drain for water getting underneath the deck from anywhere. I saw some water present after a long drive so I decided to put a shop vac to the hole. The wall on one side...

    New trigger, tightening down stator doesn't allow throttle movement

    I sent a trigger in for warranty for my 50hp '90 force and I received it. Upon installing it, putting stator on, screwing in 4 stator bolts to a tad more than finger-tight, and then tightening flywheel down to spec (80ft/lbs). I cannot move the throttle all the way up or all the way down without...

    Bad trigger again?? 50hp force '90

    So a few months back, I had no spark on #2 cyl & eventually brought it to a mechanic for diagnosis. He told me the trigger was bad because dva was 0.2 on trigger instead of the required 0.3+. I took my boat back from him and replaced the trigger myself. It did fix the problem and has been good...

    mechanic says it's the Trigger.

    Re: mechanic says it's the Trigger. Here's the wiring diagram trigger is being fedexed so it should be here in a few days only. I've got the flywheel off, check trigger resistance between wire sets & a set failed, had 35 ohms. I will replace trigger, hopefully that does it, if not then CD...

    mechanic says it's the Trigger.

    Well, the mechanic told me they tested my outboard, after I brought it in for having no/intermittent spark on cyl#2 on my 50hp Force(2cyl), and he said "looks like the trigger is bad, it failed the tests, so after we replace the trigger, we can figure out if it's being caused by anything else...

    no spark only in idle, idle up and runs great, video attached.

    So I've had good luck with this (89-91) Force 50hp mechanically since I bought it used with low hours back in July of 2012 until a few weeks ago. I was out on the water and was fine until after I stopped, went to power up and it would only start on fast idle. If I brought the throttle back down...

    Tilt/Trim System question with **pics**

    Pics: This is my tilt/trim system with pics posted above. I hear it screeching some times when getting to a certain point when lifting or lowering the motor while "tilting" not trimming. It only screeches for a second and I have no idea how these systems work. Can someone who recognizes my...

    Deep Sockets?

    I am relatively new to working on outboards. I have rebuilt a fuel pump, carb, replaced water pump & seals. I am planning on resealing my LU and am in the market for a complete tool set. I have done hours of research and narrowed my decision down to a few craftsman socket/wrench sets at sears...

    '89-90 50 HP Acting Up

    First time having this kind of issue (after being warmed up) with my (1989-90?) 50 that I purchased a few months ago. Got to the boat ramp yesterday and outside temp was around ~58F. With a few pumps of the primer ball and engaging the choke, it wouldn't start. So I figured this was because of...

    Carburetor Air Intake filter?

    I own a (89-91) 50 hp Force and it is in perfect running condition however I have a question about my carburetor's air intake. The previous motor I owned had a pretty large air silencer over the carb's air intake that looks like it would block out any large debris from being sucked in but this...

    fuel pump bad?

    Hello all, I recently purchased a 89-91' force 50hp. Previous owner and I not sure because serial isn't legible. First time out it ran like a champ, no problems at all, except when we got back to flush it out, I found out fast that it must be flushed in a barrell and the cowling had a crack in...

    Hooking Up Shift Linkage

    Re: Hooking Up Shift Linkage Did the shop get it taken care of for ya? I am curious because I have a close model ~1989-90(unknown serial number) Force 50hp that I had to remove the lower unit to inspect the impeller. I made the nooby mistake of removing shift linkage coupler to drop the LU...
