Here is a link to a page off of Boyesen's website that explains what they do, and how their reeds make a difference: http://www.boyesen.com/products/outboard/index.html. <br /><br />I am ordering some right now from bobsmachine.com for My 88 Force 125 HP for $103.95<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Bryan Cox
