    Quick question about tilt/trim system

    I bought a rebuilt trim/tilt motor and pump. Installed them but the tilt ram was bleeding down so I bought a rebuild kit. Rebuilt the ram and all was well for a few days but now it's bleeding down again. Very slowly but bleeding down nonetheless. It's on a 1984 Force. 85 HP. I don't know what...

    Over charging on 1984 Force 85 hp.

    I've read the sticky about overcharging problems. New rectifier or voltage regulator? That's my question. I want to save money but I also want thing right in this boat as I am fishing some pretty big lakes and the last thing I look forward to is getting stuck in the back of some large lake late...

    Prop question

    I have an old Bayliner bass boat. I'm on the water several times a week and living in Mesa Arizona, I'm on the water most of the year. The boat is a Bayliner Trophy with the original 1984 Force engine spinning a Michigan Wheel 13x19 aluminum prop. The flukes on my prop were never in the best of...

    1984 Force engine. 85 hp. How many poles on the charging system?

    I tried to look this up but couldn't find it. I want to install a tach on my 1984 Bayliner bass boat but I am not sure how many poles the charging system is using. I believe this engine has a 20 pole system but before I order the tachometer, I want to make sure. Any help is appreciated...

    I have a 1984 Bayliner Trophy bass boat with a 1984 Force engine. 85 hp. The tilt/trim ram has a rubber grommet in the top ring. It's the pivot point between the ram and the engine. A large rod goes thru this grommet and over to the shock on the other side. Anyway, the grommet is coming out...

    Rebuild kit for tilt/trim???

    I have a 1984 Force engine. 85 horse. The tilt/trim bleeds down. Sometimes quickly, sometimes not so quickly. It bleeds down on both trim and tilt. I'm reasonably sure it's the pump and not any of the rams. I just installed it a few weeks ago. When I purchased my boat it had power tilt only...

    Different tire size on trailer. Safety question?

    I have a 1984 Bayliner bass boat on the original trailer. Ever since I have owned this boat, the tires would rub the fenders if I hit a large dip or bump in the road. Bayliner uses the same trailer for several different boats they made at the time. A bass boat is a little wider than the other...
