    When did Merc take over Force?

    I tried searching for this since it seems I've run across a thread about it before, but didn't find it. Here's the story..<br /><br />I'm looking for a 18-20' walk-around and have found a 92 Trophy 20 footer that I really like. UNFORTUNATELY, it still has the Force 120 on it which I'm not sure...

    Supreme Court ruling on local Indian tribe

    Finally a little justice for all of us property tax payers around here....<br /><br />They've already taken over 14,000 acres off the taxroll, of which about 35 is actual reservation land. I think if they want to truly be a sovergn nation, it's time to put up a border, border patrol, and cut off...

    Browning Rods

    Does anyone have any opinions on Browning fishing rods? My one and only setup for the past...oh...15 years has been a Browning Medalion(i think) rod and Shimano Syncopate reel. <br /><br />I am starting to feel like I have gotten my moneys worth out of this setup :D , not to mention it...

    Brother's Keeper

    Has anyone else seen this documentary? I just watched it again the other day and was wondering what other people's take on it was. It's about a local (to me) murder trial involving 4 elderly brothers that run a small farm here. They drive their tractor to town for supplies now and again, live in...

    Fishing Oneida Lake? Any luck?

    Wondering if anyone else here fishes Oneida Lake? I was doing great up until about August, but more or less since then it seems the fish have shut off for me. :( <br /><br />I've been on the lake for a long time now, but only started drowning worms there this year. I'll bet it's been a good...

    Upgrading to a walkaround w/ cuddy

    I have a baby bayliner right now, a '87 14' Capri, which I hung a nice '92 Johnson 48SPL on early in the season. Since I beat the blown up old Force to pieces with a sledge hammer and threw it in the trash, I've loved this boat. I have no problem when the wind kicks up and conditions change from...

    Quick question on 50:1 from the pump...

    I've never bought any premixed 50:1 fuel straight from the pump. Partly because I just want to be sure the mix is right, and the only way to know that is doing it myself. I got to wondering the other day though....how does the station keep the mix..mixed? (not many earthquakes around here to...

    Battery not recharching

    I have a 92 Johnson 48SPL which I replaced the battery for about a month ago because I thought it wasn't taking a charge. Didn't have any idea how old it was, so I figured I'd just replace it. Well, now the new one is beat after a night fishing trip (lights running the whole time) and will not...

    Help removing drive shaft, bearing housing

    I have a '92 Johnson 48 SPL and am trying :rolleyes: to reseal the lower unit. I have the unit off, prop shaft bearing carrier out, waterpump assembly out but can not for the life of me get the bearing carrier housing on the drive shaft out. I already have the nut off the bottom of the shaft...

    My shuddering johnson...

    I have a '92 48 SPL on a 14' Bayliner and it seems to shake rattle and roll a little too much for my liking. Not noticable when underway, but at idle speed, the motor jiggles so much, I can feel it at the steering wheel. It looks like it's loose where the lower engine housing meets the steering...

    Shift linkage adjustment

    The engine is a 92 Johnson 48SPL and shifts in and out of gear pretty good, but goes in a little late (too far forward on the handle) and I'd say a little early (don't have to move shift handle back hardly at all). I'm at the end of my adjustment under the cowl, so I'm wondering if there is more...

    Need prop advise

    This new to me motor that I picked up has no prop on it. I need to know what the correct prop and specs I need...also what else I might need since only the prop shaft is there (no nuts/washers). <br /><br />The motor is a 92 johnson 48 sp and the boat is a 87 14' bayliner capri bowrider. Used...
