Recently purchased a 20 foot Pontoon Boat it has a serial # on the Motor of 1062 and Model # 507F6A Force 50 horsepower. The model of the boat is 20AV9. Could anyone tell me how old of a boat this is and what spark plugs it takes and if an owners manuel is still available. Will the serial number on the boat tell me how old the boat is? What mix oil and gas should I use?<br />Lots of questions but this is my first boat and I like to repair things correctly the first time. Any help would be appreciated.<br /><br />Harold

Hello Harold<br /> Your motor is a 1986 model. I know nothing about pontoon boats. I would like to suggest that you take a trip to the public library. And do a little research on boating, safety,maintance,etc. This will make for a more enjoyable expierence. Good luck, happy boating.

Hi Harold, Your fuel mix is 50:1 16Oz. to<br /> 6 gals. Fairwinds Marina is a Chrysler/Force dealer www.fairwindsmarina.com They may be able to help you with some of your problems. Your motor is an orphan You still should be able to get parts a tech. assistance from places like Fairwinds but unless the motor seems pretty special I would consider something a little more mainstream. Mercury,Evinrude/Johnson you could try to trace your boat by assuming they were a package when new maybe you can find what boats were matched with Force motors They may have been under the umbrella of a larger company,like Brunswick or something.There may be some manuals for your motor at the manual tab at the top of the page. Good luck, Spike
