    Need some way of identifying model # for a 1990 Force 90HP

    Blue Fin, spectrum, brunswick, fisher, and.... have all been bought-sold-relocated-combined-split up, several times over the last 30 years. I doubt you will find any shipping or sales records from boats sold 30 years ago.

    steering cable?

    Buy an entire helm with cable. You can often get a really got price that way. $160-$200 And you will be certain to get the correct cable. You're gonna have to remove the motor either way.

    Need some way of identifying model # for a 1990 Force 90HP

    There you go. I vote for 806F90C. The model number changed every time the used a part from a different supplier. I can't believe you have to register that motor.

    Need some way of identifying model # for a 1990 Force 90HP

    Often the starter has a tag with info on it, but probably faded by now. What specifically do you need the model number for? Photos of ignition plate and fuel pump should help to verify.

    Replaced stater and rectifier, still no spark in one cyl

    If the spark would not jump a .030 gap, there is the issue. I would swap your # 1 coil assembly with your #2 coil assembly. Then check for spark again. If the issue moved to #1 cylinder, then you need a new coil. I'm pretty sure the plug wire is part of the coil, so don't try pulling them apart.

    Late 60’s Mercury outboard weight

    So, being in the upper midwest, with a short boating season compared to most of the country increases you odds of finding a decent older motor. But as time goes on, most of the motors I find are not maintained, or have be messed withs badly that you can't tell if the motor can be a smooth...

    1987 mercury exhaust question

    The cooling water goes through the powerhead, and then is dumped into the exhaust. So yes, there should be water there, and some of it will splatter out the exhaust relief ports.
