    Late 7-0's 50hp Mariner tilt/trim and shift cables

    I've got a late 70's 50hp Mariner with no numbers. When the tilt button is activated there is a clicking sound on the motor coming from a Bosch 12v30A 0332 209 150 part. It looks like two little square boxes. It hasn't been used in two years but is clean. Is it a part or electrical problem?<br...

    1979 35hp Johnson starter going bad?

    Sometimes it works fine although it always makes a whirring sound. Someone told me it needs high temp grease on the spindle. Does that sound right?<br /><br />Sometimes it sounds like it won't turn over but does, or gets slow start. Kinda like a dead battery although it has a new one.<br /><br...

    Force 50hp tilt trim operates rough

    Hi<br /><br />My 1987 Force 50 jerks using the tilt trim and I think it has air in it. It seemed to be full of oil. I read a manual but didn't have any luck trying to purge it.<br /><br />How do you purge the system? The motor had to be lifted manually before.<br /><br />Thanks.

    Who made old Sea Kings?

    Someone told me a 1957 5hp Sea King was made by Johnson. I thought Sears did and parts were impossible to find. Would a driveshaft seal and impeller be available? I'd be interested in some information on these motors. <br /><br />I passed one of these up in nice shape, but had water in the lower...

All he did was push a wire ina and out and I don't think it is as good as it should be. <br /><br />I've seen liquid...

    Force 50 carb leaks out top

    Hello,<br /><br />I've got a 1987 Force 50hp outboard that leaks gas out of a jet on top of the carburator when idling. The motor has been sitting in the sun and only has about 15 hours on it. I'm guessing that the needle seat isn't sealing and gas is filling the carb and going out the jet. Is...
