    Goodbye to first boat!

    I just sold our first boat (1986 Bayliner Capri 1600BR) and closed on our new family member (2013 Monterey 184FS). Got the strangest looks as I towed the old boat along the highway during a snowstorm. We can't wait for warmer weather to launch the new boat.

    1986 Force 85hp - looking for engine cover gasket/seal

    The engine cover gasket/seal/packing on my '86 Force 85 needs to be replaced. I've looked all across The Net and have come up blank. The OEM part is no longer made and is not available anywhere. It looks like I'll need to fab something up on my own. Anyone else run into this problem? Thanks!

    86 Force 85hp - unburned fuel around engine

    I have found unburned fuel around the engine and at the bottom of the engine cover. It seems to be running just fine. Could this be caused by the mixture being too rich?

    I have an 86 Bayliner with an 85 hp Force outboard. I am trying to remove the throttle handle from the side bolster so I can recover the bolster. I've removed the center cap (fast idle button) and the attaching screw, but I cannot find a way to remove the handle from the control mechanism...

    Sucess - thanks everybody!

    We just had the boat out this afternoon. Thanks to all of the information on this site, I was able to set the carbs and idle properly. We had a great afternoon out on the lake. I'm loving it! Thanks again! p.s. it's an 86 Bayliner Capri 1600 bowrider with an 85hp Force outboard

    Looking for swim platform parts - 86 capri 1600

    I have an 86 Capri 1600 bowrider and I need some parts to complete the swim platform. Does anyone have the ladder and the support handle (goes from the platform up to the top of the stern) that they are willing to sell? Thanks! Rick

    Substitute Tachometer?

    I have an 86 Bayliner with a 85hp Force outboard (856X6L). The boat does not have a tachometer. Can I use an automotive application test tach? Thanks!

    Removing rear seat backs - 86 Capri BR 1600

    I just bought an 86 Capri bowrider 1600 and need to do some interior refreshing. I've found the screws that hold on the side bolsters, but I can't seem to figure out how to remove the two rear seat backs (on either side of the motor). Any ideas? Thanks!
