    Force 85 1989 Water in gearbox / hole

    You should have 3 places to fill/ vent on your drive. Make sure the plugs are in right. I use an air pump from Ryobi. It has a fitting that fits right into the fill/vent hole.

    How to Test trigger and stator on Force -125 hp outboard

    outboardignitiondotcom has test procedures. Like Nordin said the stator can test good but be bad :( The test results are different for the factory equipment and some aftermarket parts. CDI is one of the biggest replacement units and the test results are way different. Make sure what your...

    Force 85 1989 Water in gearbox / hole

    IF???? you have the drive that came with the motor, the 89 didn't have the speedo hookup through the front of the drive.That came later when Mercury started influencing the design. They did have a hole so water/gunk would drain out. Do a pressure test. It did have the rubber bellows/seal for the...

    Adding straight gas to mix

    Add more if you have room but add pre-mixed gas/oil. If the gas has only sat for a few months it shouldn't go bad. What can happen is if the tank is not full and the boat sets in the sun, condensation forms and water settles in the bottom of the tank. Raise the bow as far as you can, add 3-4 dry...

    Looking for Force part COVER ASSY 818074A1

    Sorry to hear about Don. :( That part is really hard to get as they only used it for a short time. The next thing is try to find a lower unit or even a whole donor motor. Look around I found a 125 for 125$ Try using the product advertised that welds metal? If I can find the add I'll pass it along.

    Nothing comes off the driveshaft, either end. I figured one end would come loose, NOPE!! The prop's supposed to just pull off, no amount of trying to drive it off with a brass drift and 3# hammer, even a steel drift wouldn't help. Gonna get the hot wrench in there the first of the week. Over...

    Not only is it seized !!! But the driveshaft is seized on BOTH ends, the prop and engine coupler. :( I've got it dismantled enough that I can get the hot wrench in to the engine coupler. Hate to think I might have to cut the shaft. :(

    1989 85 HP Force neutral safety switch help!

    You put it back together, then find N ,while shifting, rotate the prop, that relieves the pressure and makes shifting easier. Once in N then check the switch for location, then adjust as needed.

    The prop is SIEZED on the shaft. I have cramps in my fingers from trying to pull it free. I got the intake grate off and finally have access to the driveshaft under the ski, nothing blocking. Rain yesterday stopped all work, today I'll get under and try to turn the driveshaft and try to get the...

    Got the outer housing off, then tried to get the impeller housing loose, it only comes about 3/4 of an inch then pulls itself back in. Looked in the service manual= nothing on that. Saw a couple of u-tube videos and they gave me some ideas, for tomorrow.
