    Yee haww almost racing season (gearhead post)

    Besides boating, I enjoy drag racing --- who could have picked two of the most expensive hobbies, eh? :) <br /><br />Anyway, thought I would share my new combination with all of you:<br /><br />Crank worked over real well, forged pistons, forged rods, billet oil pump (bare engine):<br /><br />...

    Could someone please explain this to me?

    I've heard a few folks say that they "trim" their boat (I'm talking outboard specifically) while going across the water.<br /><br />Since I'm a fairly new boater (to small boats anyway), does this mean that the boat owner uses the tilt mechanism to raise/lower the actually outboard/prop to get a...

    Force 125 will not go above 3800k rpm can you help?

    If I go to approx 3/4 throttle, the boat runs great at approx 3800k rpm and is running at approx 27/28mph according to my GPS. If I try to give it more throttle it sort of bogs down and doesn't gain any speed and still seems like it's getting flooded or something weird. Any help...

    Cowl hood question

    Hi folks. I just recently bought a nice cowl hood off of ebay for my Force 125. The cowl is in outstanding shape and actually has the insulation inside of it and I'm hoping that will cut down on some of the noise. Will it really cut down on the noise drastically or no? I have nothing to...

    Those that have installed Teleflex tach....

    Upon putting on the new tach, I didn't want to start the boat up cause it's too late at night.<br /><br />I wired everything up and just turned the ignition to the last stop before starting and it went to "0".... (it was sitting a few notches closer to 1k rpm). I'm assuming that what I just...

    Fuel diaphram question

    Hi folks. Yes it's me with yet another question sorry :-)<br /><br />Since I'm replacing a lot of stuff on my old Force, I figured that the next thing on my list would be a new fuel diphram. <br /><br />What I'm wondering is and please don't laugh at me (I'm still new to the outboards), where...

    Couple of quick questions

    Hi folks. Couple of quick questions that I've searched for the answer, however, haven't come to any conclusion and hoping that someone more experienced can help:<br /><br />My tach is toast on my 1985 Capri with the 125hp force. I've read about the tiny tach, however, I'd like to place...

    Force 125hp tach problems

    I'm wondering if anyone knows what I need to replace/repair. Problem is that I get light to my tach, however, the tach does not show any rpms although the engine runs just fine. I was looking in the Clymer(sp?) manual and it mentions the "Rectifier/regulator". <br /><br />Is that a part...
