    Yup, just like you said a couple years ago when I was wondering what year model my PH was.....you said to look behind the CD pack.....and there it was and I took that pic. (y)

    what motors are compatible with the 88 125 force?

    This is a foundry stamp on my replacement power head. Was behind the CD pack. Shows to be a 1988 model.

    1995 Force 120 will no longer idle

    These old motors don't have all that fancy diagnostics stuff. So it should only go off when grounded (testing) or it is overheating. I test mine by using a screw driver and ground it to a spark plug.

    Sea-king Chrysler 15hp outboard motor does not start

    The diaphragm pumps the fuel......no fuel, no start. Even though it may not be torn or have any holes in it, it may be stiff from age. It should be very pliable/flexible or it won't pump fuel very well. If in doubt, replace it.

    Best 2 stroke oil for Chrysler / Force outboards

    Yes, you do. Lots of opinions out there on brands, synthetic/non synthetic/synthetic blend, etc. I use Quicksilver Premium Syn Blend, mainly because it is readily available in my area. As long as it is TC-W3 rated it is all good. Some use Walmart Super Tech with good results. Some say it...

    Harbor freight jack.

    Had an old Snap On 2 ton that wouldn't hold pressure anymore. A kit to repair it was over $100. So I got a Daytona 3 ton long-reach low-profile w/rapid pump in a pretty green color. Best jack I have ever owned.

    alaska cruise

    Something to consider......according to the Medicare Handbook 2025, regular Medicare generally doesn't cover medical care outside the US. If you have a Medigap policy, it may or may not cover you. Same with an Advantage plan. Like was mentioned above, an emergency medical evacuation from a...

    alaska cruise

    Agree 100%.....especially on Alaska trip, good views from your cabin. Those inside cabins are like being in a box......kind of claustrophobic anyway...lol We did a Norway-Northern Lights cruise in January on Viking.....all cabins had balconies....no interior rooms at all.

    alaska cruise

    That's the one we went on. Very nice ship....only carries about 100 passengers plus crew. That ship was made just for the Galapagos. There are no cruise ship terminals in the islands, so every time you get off the ship they use RIB boats with Yamaha OBs to get you to shore. The rear of the...

    Retired pilot here as well (rotorhead).....a guy I used to work with quit to go fly with a tour outfit in Hawaii. He had an "incident" and flew his AStar into the ocean, killing 4 of his passengers. The authorities in Hawaii thought his actions were reckless, and nearly filed voluntary...

    alaska cruise

    Been on a few cruises, by far the best were Alaska and Galapagos Islands.....On the Alaskan Inside Passage trip most of the passengers were retired/elderly folks who were there to see Alaska, not getting drunk and partying. The Galapagos trip was more of an expedition than a laid back cruise...

    Nobody fishing?

    Sorry to hear about your buddy passing. You gave him some great memories for sure. Unfortunately for my neighbor, Willy, his health took a bad turn shortly after my post about him last year. He was so feeble I was afraid he would get injured getting in/out of the boat. I wish I could have...
