When I hooked up my battery cables on the right terminals after accidentally crossing them yesterday the circuit breaker that follows the starter relay keeps popping. So there is no juice getting through to the dash....is my starter relay fried or my rectifier? I checked for burned lines and...
Hey I'm hoping someone can help me with a problem I've gotten myself into. After working all day on my 87 Bayliner with 125 Force I put my battery back in since it had been charging all day and accidentally crossed the positive and negative wires on the terminals and heard a small pop...
Here's whats going on.. I just swapped out powerheads from an 87 to 89 and the wiring seems to be different alittle bit so when I connected everything back today and hooked up the battery my trim and tilt didn't work ( when I hooked it up to a battery it did) and when I turn the key there's no...
I've noticed the mounting bracket on my 87 Force 125 split in half right where it bolts through the transom. Does anybody know where I can find a replacement part and if not how can I fix this problem? I was thinking of joining the split ends together with a few hose clamps and calling it a...
My 87 Force 125 will not go into gear. The Driveshaft on my lower unit snapped in half so I found a second hand lower unit and upon inspection it seemed to work fine as I spun the prop in forward and reverse the driveshaft spun also and I filled it up with new oil. So I installed the lower...
So i pulled the lower unit on my 87 125 force and I looked at the top of the driveshaft and it was smooth almost looked like something broke off which would explain why my boat wont go into gear. My question is if something did break off how do I get it out, what would cause that to happen and...

Hey guys quick question. Isnt the exaust supposed to be spitting out a mist of water while running? So if it's not would you think the problem is the impeller and I should not be running it? My boat wont go into gear in either forward or reverse but I figured out thats my lower unit. I think...
Forgive me for asking but what is the drive dog??? I need to get my boat to the launch and it wont go into gear. Any suggestions...Sea Tow?? Can I lubricate the lower end enough to get it there??
I just want to thank all the members of this forum for dealing with me over the last 3 months of my short season. Whether it was my reading of other forums with problems like mine or asking questions of my own you've all been top notch!! Professionalism is a hard thing to find these days and...
The other day by mistake I went to the Marine shop and bought synthetic oil for the oil/gas mixture 50:1 ratio and it ran fine all day. I took it out tonight and it was fine on the way out but when I was coming in I had it about 30 when all of a sudden it sounded like the engine wound out and...
I am having a problem with the trim on my outboard that just started happening today. I went to trim the outboard down to get in the water and all I heard was a "clicking" sound and there was no response. On the way up it works fine but getting it in the water is a problem. Does anybody know...
