I purchased a power head for my 1998 Force 90 HP a few years back from a company that rebuilds them in Florida. When I received the PH, it would not work on my motor. The company went out of business and I was stuck with a PH I could not use. How can I determine what motor it works on? I...
I purchased a PH thinking it would fit my motor....it won't. Now I need to sell it, but I need to know what it actually fits before I can do that. I was told that it fit a 1998 Mercury 90 hp outboard. I have two numbers off of castings listed below. Any help will be appreciated...
