    J.f.k.

    "All of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea -- whether it is to sail or to watch it -- we are going back from...

    1997 Force 40hp Adapter Plate Torque

    Hi there, I looked through my Seloc Manual for the torque spec for the adapter plate to powerhead torque. The only thing I see is the general table for a 5/16 x 18 bolt which is 13 ft lbs or 156 inch. Does this sound correct for these bolts. When I disassembled, two of the 8 bolts, were loose...

    1997 Force 40hp

    Hello, I just bought a boat with a Force 40hp, noticed no tell tale pee hole. Has anyone added this to their rig and can recommend parts to use. When I first ran the engine I took the little 1/4" plug off the top and no water pressure. I figured the impellor was gone, so I took apart the water...
