    Yes sir, I think I’ll have to look into that! Give them some of their own medicine 😉

    Most stable hull design for trolling in rough water

    Thanks for your response, I think that you’re right, and it makes sense that a flatter transom helps to control rocking back and forth when trolling. I really do like how the deep v cuts through the waves and chop. I do believe that the hull gets much flatter towards the stern, but the boat is...

    Most stable hull design for trolling in rough water

    Very true! I once had a tall wake that hit the side of the boat where some water washed over the side and into my boat! I finally left that part of the lake and tried fishing in a different spot. Trouble is that the place I left was very good fishing!

    Most stable hull design for trolling in rough water

    Thanks for your reply. I’m not sure what the deadrise is my boat since it’s a 1992 and I bought it used about 5 years ago. I’m not sure how to find it without the owner’s manual. I noticed a Hewescraft not too far from mine and about the same size as mine that was trolling as well. Those boats...

    Most stable hull design for trolling in rough water

    Hello everyone, I was wondering if someone with a lot of experience could tell me what is the best hull design for stability in very rough water. I was out trolling the other day in my V hull Bayliner and was having a good day until a couple of wake boats came by, and threw real tall waves up...

    Remote control help

    Thanks for your replies, and sorry it took so long to get back, but I finally got some free time to work on the control. It has a US Marine logo on the handle. I took the whole handle and control apart and found a pinched wire that was keeping the motor from being tilted down after being tilted...

    Hello everyone, I have a 1992 Force 150hp that needs a replacement for the US Marine remote control. Does anyone know what my options are to replace this remote control? Any help would be appreciated!

    Which carbs supply which cylinders?

    Thanks for the reply! Do you sometimes adjust each carb with its own setting in order to get the motor to run the best, or should all carbs be adjusted the same?

    Needle valve seats availability?

    Thanks for the reply, when I pulled the carbs again I found a few small black specks on the seat of the carb that was overflowing. After cleaning out the seat and polishing like you said it did not overflow anymore. I think I better replace the lines after the in-line fuel filter to prevent...

    Which carbs supply which cylinders?

    I Have a 1992 Force 150 hp outboard and it has 3 carbs and 5 cylinders. Could someone tell me which carb supplies which cylinder or cylinders?

    Needle valve seats availability?

    Thanks for the reply. I have no trouble finding the needle, but the seat is always listed as no longer available?

    Needle valve seats availability?

    I was wondering if anyone could tell me where to get needle valve seats for a 1992 150 hp Force? The middle carburetor seems to spit gas out of the overflow sometimes. I have checked the float adjustment and soaked and blew them out twice. It idles smoothly and runs smoothly up to 1200 or so rpm...

    Adding straight gas to mix

    Thanks for the reply, I think if I drain the fuel out of the tank at the end of the season this may help matters?

    Adding straight gas to mix

    Thanks for the reply, I only run non- ethanol fuel in the boat and add startron fuel stabilizer to the fuel. In the summer it does sit out in the sun a lot, but I heard that adding gas dryer to fuel/oil mix can hurt a 2 cycle outboard? I will definitely install a fuel/water filter on her.

    Adding straight gas to mix

    I have often wondered if it’s OK to add some straight gas to the fuel/oil mix in my boat‘s gas tank after being stored for a few months over winter. I have noticed that the boat is much harder to start and smokes much more in the spring when I am summarizing the boat? I am aware that gasoline...

    Thanks again, I think I’ll pressure test the gear case this weekend to be sure that it’s not leaking.
