Hey folks! I ran across some rocks and bent 2 fins on my propeller and took out a nice chuck of the skeg early this year. http://forums.iboats.com/images/smilies/mad.gif
I have a 120 Force O/B on a 1995 Bayliner Capri 1800 LS. I didn't have the WOT RPMs before the prop was bent but installed a...
Hello again...
I have a 1995 Bayliner 1800 LS with a 120HP Force O/B motor. I noticed a strong smell of gas coming from the storage locker that runs in the middle of the floor. Opening up the locker, I saw some liquid in there that looked to be gas/oil mix. I cleaned it all out (I think), had...
Looking back at last year, I spent alot of money on bait. I usually buy around 1-2 dozen medium size shiners and a dozen or so minnows each trip. I try to hit the lake at least twice a week and that really adds up. Thinking ahead... I figure it's probably worth investing in a casting net. I...
Hey y'all!! I need to know if anyone knows where to acquire a 120HP Force top carb. - OEM part number TC-119A. I've been checking different sites and most have the part listed as obsolete and do not list an alternative. I've found a few listed on Ebay but wanted to know if anyone knows anywhere...
Hey folks... As the birds fly south for winter it looks like I have my project cut out for me. I purchased the boat mid-summer for family recreation, fishing, and relaxing. The motor seemed relatively fine with a few minor hiccups now and again, assuming that's expected being a 95. This is my...
Hey gang!
I wanted to take a poll to see what type of dual battery isolator people are using with the Force/Chrysler outboard motors. The main reason people install a 2nd battery or "house" battery is to prevent draining the starting battery from the use of other electronics (ie... trolley...
I have an 120HP Force outboard motor that uses a stator/alternator with an output of 14 amps. I'm looking to add a second battery for my electronics, primarily a stereo system w/ amp. Amp specs state the current consumption is 38A (seems a bit high for a 50W x 4 RMS amp). Please don't blaze me...
I am in the process of obtaining all the components for a stereo system upgrade on my (you guessed it) 95' Bayliner 1800.
I'm pretty sure the existing stereo is the original as I find myself rummaging thru dusty boxes looking for my old mixtapes. :eek: The current system only has 2 speakers...
I ran into a big problem on my last trip out to the lake. Gas was literally spewing out of the motor. I'd say I lost about a 1/4 of a tank within 30mins to a hour. Luckily, I was able to make it back to the dock with the help of a nearby jetskier.
Upon opening the motor cover, I noticed that...
Greetings Everyone!! Does anyone have a spare hard or electronic copy of the Owner's and Service Manual for a '95 Force 120 motor?
I called Mercury and they want $29 for the Owners Manual and $90 for the Service Manual. Does this sound about the right price? Anyone have either for free...
