    Is there a pee hole on a force 1996 Force 75hp outboard ?

    There was a sticky post at the top of this forum about adding a telltale to a Force outboard, but it looks like the link is misdirected, which is why I suggested doing a search.....none of them came with a factory installed pee hole, pisser, or telltale...

    Is there a pee hole on a force 1996 Force 75hp outboard ?

    No, there is not a pee hole or "telltale" on Force outboards, at least not the kind that shoots a stream of water out that you could see while underway.....However one can be added if you want....do a search of this forum for "telltale".....several folks on here have done it.

    Conventional Casting reels

    " The knobs on the ends of the spool are used to center the spool in the frame. They have no effect on spool tension whatsoever." Agreed.....however the tension knob on your basic baitcaster has no effect on spool centering as most spools are in a fixed position. It is used for adjusting the...

    "For maximum casting distance and minimal tendency of line over run, it is necessary to also adjust the tension knob to match the weight of the lure and angler preference.

    Conventional Casting reels

    "You see his method of adjusted parroted all the time but I strongly disagree." His method of adjusting the braking works well for the beginner who would not otherwise be able to cast without building "bird nests" on every cast. That is what the brake system is for....after a while you rely...
