    Trim/tilt electrical

    1988 125, anybody got a link to a wiring diagram for this system? Relays click , and after repeated attempts, circuit breaker pops. No warning, just worked on day, and not the next. Don't wanna guess current flow, I'd at least like to familiarize myself with the wiring circuit. Bob

    Lost a piece while trailering, need to know WHAT TO CALL IT to order one.

    I lost the steel rod that you put through the bracket on the outboard, that keeps it in the up position while trailering. You raise the motor, slide this bar in the trim adj holes, and put a large cotter pin to keep it from sliding out. It supports the engine. 88 Force 125. I need to know...

    T-stat question

    88 Force 125.. the coolant flow thru this engine is designed in such a way that even if the t-stat is stuck shut, you can look at the pee-holes shooting a good flow and be lulled into thinking everything is ok? My engine was running great yesterday, and I was giving it the how fast can it...

    tilt/trim relays

    Had the "up" relay stick on me today, (this happened once on the water, and a quick tap released it.. worked fine after that, put it on my "to do" list of things to take care of.).. Anyway, it now just clicks.. "down" relay works fine. So I decided to take it apart, clean the contacts...

    Question for electrical guys smarter than me....

    I wanna check my rpm's on my outboard.. I got a busted tach. Too much money to replace it right now. I DO have a Fluke 78 Multi meter with tach capabilities. I DON'T have the inductive pickup option for said meter. I can get one for $80. Too much. I can also get a tiny-tach for $ 40. Too...

    general performance?

    I'm new to boating that uses engines more powerful than a minn-kota 35#.. I now run a 125 outboard on a 16' fish n ski. In the morning.. no wind, calm water.. seems to fly.. later that afternoon, a little wind, and a rougher water, it feels like perfomance has degraded somewhat. Now I'm...
