Re: My Force 50 hp does not go in forward. Why?
Look below the head, and above the foot. There will be a rod...make sure it is moving up and down with the controls. If it is, then remove the foot and take the little pin out that connects the control rod to the controls. With the head off in your lap, push the rod all the way in and see if the prop locks into gear. Now pull it out and check for the same thing. If it does lock both ways, then your foot is fine and you just need adjustment in your linkages. I know this seems the long way around...but it will assure that you dont miss an obvious problem and waste a trip to the lake...Good luck.
