It works harder going up, more strain as you trim it up.
Going down is easier on the system.
The 3 wire motors basically the same as the 2
The 2 was used by Johnson/Evinrude/OMC Some Chrysler inboards, Volvo/Chrysler inboards. And many more.
Depending on how far the wires are ran?? you could use 12g. wire but the 10g would be the best.
When they started using the relays, I had a boat with twin 88/85's both had the system. Got to be more problematic the older it got.
I ended up carrying new relays and butt connectors in my bag of...
In the old days: they didn't have a Trim up on the Chryslers/Forces.
The outboards that had T@T usually had a heavy duty switch on the dash and heavy wires from the switch to the pump and battery. Starting around 86 87 they started using relays so they could use the T@T in the shift handle.
If...
Yes still her, been under the weather and my knowledge on this area(kingpin) isn't the best. In all my years, I've never taken one apart. I've just been lucky enough to be able to free them up and get them to work.
75 and slowing down and it's friggin FREEEEEZIN out there. My hands stop working...
Marine grease is the only grease to use.
IF?? you ever go in salt water?? Marine grease should be used.
Fresh water you can use regular grease but why risk seizure again??
Always needs grease, LOTS!!!!! of grease. Never too much grease.
I don't think they need hammered in.
Usually I can get enough grease in to loosen the kingpin.
Sometimes it needs an acetylene torch to loosen the old sludge/grease.
Just don't heat at the very top or very bottom. Some bushings...
Not an easy job.
To make it easier, the head and lower unit needs to come off.
If it's ever been in salt water?? 10X harder.
Need a factory manual too.
An acetylene torch helps.
Take pics and post the procedures when done.
The bearing you removed was a pressed on bearing. It should have been pressed off to avoid any damage. The "loosesness" probably wasn't a problem. When reassembled the collar with the seal would have stopped the wiggle. New bearing might go on with the chill/heat procedure or rig up a press...
I have a bucket of old parts that I give away usually for the cost of shipping. I pay the shipping and ask the person to donate that amount to a no kill pet center. So far it's worked out good :) Gotta be honest!!
I've been working on Force's and selling parts for over 35+ years and can say I've never ripped anybody off.
Some people think they've got a gold mine and charge way too much.
Saw a lower unit from a 88/125 The guy wanted $1000 Shame on him.
