    Force 507X8B Shift & Throttle cables

    Thanks for the reply. Is there a Force / Chrysler / Yamaha cable available that would fit the black Mercury shifter laying below that the gray cables are going into?

    Force 507X8B Shift & Throttle cables

    I am trying to upgrade my boat with a Quick Silver remote control with the emergency stop pull cord. I bought a 881170A5 remote control with a set of cables. But, the cable attachments on the motor end are different. Are there brackets available to either use my current cables on my new...

    Force 507X8B Shift Issues

    Thanks for the feedback. I did get a manual. I will see about adding a pee tube, I have seen them but didn't know it was that easy. Should I be able to test the alarm by grounding the wire at the sensor? Maybe that's in the book, I haven't looked for it yet.

    Force 507X8B Shift Issues

    Well I tore the gear box apart and put all new seals in it. Finally got it back together tonight. Shifts much better now. There's not a lot of water coming out but there is some. I put a thermometer in the output ports and it stayed constant at 129 to 130 degrees. Once in a while it would drop...

    Force 507X8B Shift Issues

    Thanks for the info. I will look for a service manual. I tried to subscribe to the Seloc manual but can't get it to work for some reason.

    Force 507X8B Shift Issues

    I pulled the lower unit off and the shift rod does pull in and out fairly stiff. I turned the rod in all the ray and it went 4 1/2 turns. Then I threaded it all the way out and something must have shifted inside and now I can't get it threaded back in. I suppose now I might as well finish...

    Force 507X8B Shift Issues

    Would this unit work with my motor? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Side-Mount-Remote-Control-Box-881170A15-Mariner-Neutral-Lock-Tilt-Switch-PRO-/254479965700?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286 This would get me the kill switch and power trim switch.

    Force 507X8B Shift Issues

    I attached a few quick pics. The shift rod doesn't move hard but there is a bit of springy resistance at both ends of the travel. Unfortunately I don't have a service manual, my subscription expired, maybe I need to renew that. I don't know what you mean by turn the shift rod in and back out.

    Force 507X8B Shift Issues

    I have a Force 507X8B that I recently put on my older boat previously running an older 50 HP Force motor. The problem I have is I can't get it to shift to both forward and reverse. I can get one or the other but not both. The shifter I am using was originally from an older Chrysler setup but...

    Force 507X8B Ignition

    I did reach out to CDI tech support. They were very helpful, I ended up sending my unit back and they sent me a different one. Motor now runs on both cylinders. But, now I have shift issues. I will start a new thread on that. Thanks everyone for your help!

    Force 507X8B Ignition

    Thanks @Nordin ! The new CDI does have a black wire and that came already attached to a mounting plate for the CDI. That plate is fastened to the engine block so I would think it is grounded but I can certainly check it easy enough. Otherwise I'll reach out to CDI tech support.

    Force 507X8B Ignition

    Well spring is here so starting at my boat project again... last fall I fried one of the CDI units after wiring up the ignition switch wrong. Bought a replacement and tried to install it today. Original is no longer available so the replacement is from CDI Electronics. Not a direct replacement...

    Force 507X8B Ignition

    I replaced my 507X5A with this 507X8B that I bought used out of ebay. I wired it up per the colors but I wonder if something is different at the switch than my old motor. Two issues now: 1) Coils smoked badly and smell of smoke. 2) Motor started right up but would not shut down with the switch...

    Novice here looking for help on prop ID and selection. Below is a link to a picture of the two props I have. With either one I am having trouble getting up on plane. The numbers don't seem to correspond to the typical Diameter/ Pitch. So I am hoping someone here can help me identify them so I...

    50 Hp Force 507X5A

    Runs great at full throttle but won't idle or troll after it warms up. Seems to run ok cold.

    1985 50hp Force 507X5A water pump

    I need to replace the water pump on this motor. There is some minor pitting on the inside of the housing. Do I need to replace the housing too? Where is a good place to get this? I can't find it in the iboats parts listing. Also, can I replace the drive shafts seal and shift Rod seal without...

    507X5A 50 Hp Force idles very fast

    This motor will idle fine. But usually it takes a long time for it to slow to a reasonable idle. Even when running in nuetral going fron fast idle to normal idle it takes a long time before it finally winds down. I have checked all the cable linkage and it seems to be ok. Wondering if the feul...

    Chrysler 70hp 707HF #17505 won't run

    I picked up this motor that has been docked for several years. It turns over, pumps water, but no spark and the plugs look dry. I did crank it over a bit with the plugs out while blowing mixed gas into the carbs to get some lubrication in it. That is about as far as I have gotten. Looking...
