Re: wot rpm 70hp/foot oil
Welcome to iboats shawn.<br /><br />Tim's Floater is looking at a Seloc manual, but it is wrong (one of my big problems with the Seloc manual).<br /><br />I also have 1995 70hp Force.<br />rpm range is correct at 4750-5250<br />I run mine at 5300, up to 5500 if I put my spare prop on.<br /><br />You really should get a manual if you plan on working on it, I prefer the Clymer Force manual, especially for the 70hp model.<br />It just covers that model a little better than the Seloc.<br /><br />The 94-95 70hp motors have all the upgraded components that the early versions did not. It is a good motor, much better than any Force motor built in earlier years.<br /><br />Your gearcase holds 12 oz of lube, so buy a quart and the little hand pump and you will have enough to change it twice.<br /><br />There are 3 screws on the starboard side of the lower unit.<br />The one that is at the same height as the propeller shaft should NEVER be removed, or you are looking at big repairs. I put a dab of rtv/silicone sealant on that one so that is never gets removed by mistake.<br /><br />The other two screws, one about 3 inches lower on the underside, and one about 8 inches higher, are for the lube.<br /><br />Remove both screws to drain, an examine lube for signs of water intrusion or metal filings.<br /><br />Put new gaskets/washers on the screw plugs. !!!!!<br /><br />Attach oil bottle to the bottom hole, pump in the lube, insert and tighten the top screw plug.<br />Remove the fill tube and insert/tighten the bottom screw plug. <br /><br />After running the boat in the water for an hour, check the lube for water intrusion by loosening the bottom screw plug and letting a couple drops of lube drip out. <br /><br /><br /> "new at this game of broken boat send money."<br /><br />What other problems are you experiencing?<br /><br />Where are you located?
