    NS5b gears (F,N,R) and manual tilt

    Hello, I have a nissan NS5b on which I just changed out the impeller. Now when I start it in neutral, the prop spins clockwise. When I shift to Forward, the prop still spins clockwise, and it doesn't spin at all in reverse. Also, I have a problem with the manual tilt. It seems to be stuck and...

    Engine won't turn over

    Thanks. I didn’t touch the cables so I guess it is misaligned. Is there any manual or video that you know of that shows how to realign? I don’t know where I went wrong. I didn’t think I changed anything. Thanks again

    Engine won't turn over

    Thank you very much for your replies. It turns out that it was the neutral switch. The problem now lies that the throttle is not at a straight up and down 90 degree angle for neutral. It needs to be brought back for neutral to register. (As can be seen in the attached picture) Is there a way to...

    How to know if my shift linkage assembly was put together correctly?

    Hello everyone, I was a complete idiot and removed the shift pivot screw when changing the oil. (85 force 85hp) I knew exactly what I did when I did it. I think that it is all back together again, but is there a way to tell and make sure before I put it back in the water?

    Sealing ring and rubber collar for force drive shaft

    My 1985 85hp force engine alarm sounded the other day after it was running for several minutes. From what I have read, the alarm sounds when there is a over heating issue. Is this correct? I took it home and removed the lower unit to get to the water pump and impeller. The impeller looks...
