I have a chance to get a Capri for $400 with trailer, no motor. I have an 85 HP force that I would put on it. Would this be enough motor, the motor that was on the boat was a 115 mercury. I would hate to buy and...
I have a chance to get a Capri for $400 with trailer, no motor. I have an 85 HP force that I would put on it. Would this be enough motor, the motor that was on the boat was a 115 mercury. I would hate to buy and not be able to push it! :(

Out on the water today like most every Saturday I took more notice to the water I pump from the bilge. I began to notice on outings that the water would be dirty and start flowing right away. After a bit it would be empty, trolling for a while I then flip the switch and clear water comes out...
I have an 1987 85 horse Force. The over all condition of my motor is great. It runs like the wind, doesn't lose power after it warms up or anything like that. The thing I was wondering while riding around at WOT for damn near 5 hour straight yesterday is how long will my motor take this abuse...
I have a 1987 85 horse Force motor. I searched a few forums and seem to need a 20 pole tach for this motor. I just want to double check before I buy this, come to think of it where would I buy one, Autozone? :confused:
Thanks in advance,

Hello, I bought my motor an 85 horse Force 1987 in year. The motor runs great and pushes my 15 ft Glastron around just fine. Well today I was doing some cleaning and changing LU oil when I decided to swap props. The one on the boat is numbered PS665 it has some chips and chunks in it. The one I...
Hello I was wondering if anybody knew if the controls from a 1990 force 90 horse would fit on a 1987 85 horse. I found a set cheap and right now my motor is rigged with some controls for a Johnson from the 1960s! Yes it sucks because the throttle wont get WOT there is not enough travel. lol...
I have gotten a new boat (new to me) and before I had cable steering. This new boat is set up with hydrolic steering, I am wondering how to connect this to my motor a 1987 85 horse Force. Can I just take the ram (the moving part) and use hose clamps and clamp it to the motor? This would...
OK I did it I went out and found a bigger boat for my 85 horse Force motor. I got a great deal on a Glastron 156 DA model. The boat looks real nice, a metal flake green top (match my dodge ram!) with white bottom. I am pretty thrilled!!! My prior boat had cable steering now I have Hydraulic...
I was wondering if anybody knew the horse power rating for a 16 foot 1962, glasspar boat. I want to buy this for my 85 horse but it is 3 hours away and would hate to get there and it is to small for my motor. The fellow selling it says it can take up to 100 hp motor....any thoughts?
thanks

Hello, I have a 15 foot Nylox boat. The boat is fiberglass and has a 24 inch transom that has had about 4 inches cut out for the motor making it 20 inches at the outboard. My best guess is the year my boat was made is 1960, I bought it with a 1960 Johnson 40 horse that I got to run. I also...
Hello all, I have a 1960 seamaster 15 foot fiberglass boat with a 1987 force 85 hp outboard. I took my new combo out yesterday and she ran like a champ! I have one issue I am hoping you all can help me solve though. I cant let go of the wheel, cant relax on the wheel. The boat pulls hard to the...
Hello I just brought home a 1987 Force 85 horse. I got it for what I feel is a good price $100 it runs though needs impeller change. It shifted into gear and I drained a bit of gear oil to search for metal and found none so far. I found the sticky for impeller change so I am not asking any...
