Ran the boat onto an uncharted sandbar and filled it with sand. Replaced the impeller and cleaned out all the sand there. My plug seems to be up towards the engine, possibly between the thermostat and the pee holes.<br /><br />If I put a hose to the pee holes it comes out the exhaust port by the...
Have an '85 Force 125 with an exhaust leak that suffocates the engine at idle/low speeds. Leak is coming from the small rubber boot leading to the prostate holes (sorry, they aren't really pee holes). <br /><br />Anyone have any suggestions on replacing it? It looks simple if you have tiny...
I have posted parts of this problem elsewhere but realized I should have started my own thread...I have updated info on this posting.<br /><br /><br />Here is where I am at. <br /><br />I have a 85 bayliner (trophy bass) with an 1986 Force 125. I have had an intermittant problem with the...
