    15 HP Force Power Question

    I have an early 90's 15hp force. I'm running it on a 12' aluminum boat. When running WOT it won't pick the nose out of the water with my 10 year old daughter in the front seat. I let it warm up through the no wake zone (about 100 yards) then I open her up, she goes for about 100 yards then...

    Where can I get a primer?

    My 15hp force has a primer on the front of the motor. It doesn't work, the inner rubber membrane has disintegrated. I can't seem to find the part on iboats......I believe it's a 95 force 15. I can't seem to get any of the serial numbers to match up with anything. Here's the numbers I can...

    95 Force 15 Siezed then let loose

    Ok, new problem. Got her to start...YAY!!! We made it out about 200 yards when she wound down and stopped. I tried to pull the rope, and she wouldn't budge. So, I, being the man, (who by the way was very glad I put the oars in) rowed my entire family the 200 yards back to the launch. I...

    1995 Force 15 hard to start

    I traded my 1972 johnson 25 this weekend for a 1995 Force 15 (long story, I have a 12' aluminum boat). Once I get it started, she runs fine. I've changed the impeller, spark plugs, and gear oil. The carb is clean enough to eat out of. I'm finding I need to prime it about 20 times then pull...
