Hi SemperFi: I have a 1989 15f Bayliner Capri with a Force 50 on it. I don't know about the model # for the boat, but the engine model # is on the clamp that holds it to the back of the boat on left side as you are facing forward. Mine is 507X9B, serial # is below it 1461. Yours should have similar numbers. A tune up could include a lot of things and would depend on who is doing it. You should get a shop manual (Clymer or Seloc) and become familar with the engine as Force motors often require attention and you will save money doing it yourself whenever possible. I don't know if Force made an electric tilt/trim for this engine, but if you read this website you will see that Force tilt/trim units are a continual pain in the butt. You can make your own windscreen or have someone make you one. My little boat is just fine for running around down here on Lake Havasu, but I sure as heck wouldn't plan on taking it out to sea. Best of luck!

Squeakit,<br />Thank you for the reply, I bought a Seloc Repair Manual, I found the tag with 50hp stamped and plan on doing my own work after I get it back, I just put it in a local shop for a tune up, lower end seals & Gaskets, new Control cable, and I'm having two new windshields made at a local acrylic fabricator. I get my boat back in a few days. Cant wait.
