I recently bought a 19 foot flats boat with an '88 Force 125.Had good compression and spark checkout at my local marina.Engine starts and idles ok and will rev to 5500 rpms or so in neutral but I can't get more than 2200 out of it in gear.Moves like a water buffalo.I made an error in my ratio...
Avast!!I have a 1988 Force 125 on a 19 foot flats boat I bought two weeks ago.I did the usual changing of the L/U oil and pulled the impeller also.It was cavitated pretty badly and I was happy to see a much better water circulation when we buttoned it back up and put ears on it.The next day...
