    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...

    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...

    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...

    Gear case cover

    Thank you so much for your replies. I’ll post some pictures. There’s a chip and a couple of cracks in it. Maybe it’s not that bad or could I repair it with JB weld? I also am including a couple of pictures of the top of the water pump showing a couple of cracks. Does that need to be replaced as...

    Gear case cover

    I have 1992 Force 150 hp motor that I purchased a couple of years ago and upon servicing the water pump, I noticed that the gear case cover under the water pump looked like it was in need of replacing. I am not having any luck finding a new or even a used one. If anyone here could help me find a...

    1992 force 150 hp not charging battery

    I have a 1992 force 150 hp outboard and it doesn’t seam to be charging the battery adequately. The volt meter in the Dash of the boat says when it’s running that the voltage is under 12 at times? It never seems to charge above 12 or 13 V . The charge of the batteries gets so low that it’s hard...
