    Binding/Jamming linkage issue w/ Force 50

    Awhile back I took my boat out and was having issues starting it, lots of cranking. The controls have never felt incredibly smooth but this time something seemed to be snagging and I forced and broke them. Assuming the controls were at fault, I replaced the controls with a working unit and...

    Best place to buy Force Remote Controls (parts)?

    Today I launch the boat on the lake and attempt to start the motor. It is cranking and cranking with no hopes of starting (it's done this before). So I go to open the throttle for high idle, via the neutral cold-start mechanism (pulling out the lever and pressing forward). For whatever reason...

    I took my boat (1990 bayliner) out for the first time for a test run to make sure it would perform decently before sinking any money into it, (hence the reason for running a worn out old prop).

    Force 50 horse coil replacement question

    I am replacing some things on this old motor and today's project was both ignition coils. Well the new CDI coils aren't exactly the same. The old coils had ground wires coming from them and then another wire with connectors from the CD box. Before I try to describe anything here is a picture of...

    NO Budget Newbie replacing deck...some of it. (pics)

    Hey all. This is my first post, so I'll give a short intro and continue through to my "issues". I am almost 20 years old and have recently obtained a '90 Bayliner Capri V-Hull that has been in our family since it was bought brand new. It was stored and garaged until a few years ago when it...
