    1994 Force 50HP Our relationship is over

    We've had our good days, as well as some dark ones, but overall it has been a fun packed and memorable 10 years. My thanks to those on this forum, who donate their time and expertise to assist guys like me who need relationship (outboard) advice. Our time together would have been much shorter...

    1994 Force 50 hp won't crank, not even a noise when you put the key in start position

    Tried several things today but didn't even get it to click or make any noises. Some background, it ran great, but had water leaking at the adapter plate. So I removed all the electrical components to get the power head off. I took photos and zip tied sticky notes all over it so I could put it...

    machinists advice with a broken bolt on my adapter plate? p1994 Force 50 hp

    Just to keep it short, I replaced the adapter plate gasket last winter, only to have it fail near the end of my boating season this year. It was easier to take apart the second time, and now I'm in new territory again, dealing with a broken bolt where the leak occurred. Sorry, I have pics, but...

    1994 Force 50 hp is revving higher-does a higher pitch prop exist?

    I swapped out my lower unit that was leaking water into the gear oil with a good used lower unit. It sounded different after the swap, and I realized it was revving slightly over 6,000 at full throttle. I had a 12 1/2 pitch prop that kept me in the 5,300 range with the original lower unit. I...

    1994 50 hp Force, not pumping enough cooling water

    At the end of last year, I did many of the gaskets on the powerhead, including where the powerhead mounts on the plate. Motor ran great after the new gaskets, but it took a long while before cooling water came out the back before I put it into storage. And the lower unit was milky. Start up at...

    1994 Force 50, are parts interchangeable with a 1991 Force 50?

    I have a good running 1994 Force 50. I found an ad where they are selling a running (but roughly) 1991 Force 50 as well as a 1990 parts motor. They are asking $300 for both motors. Electrical components are totally different, and when I compare the engine parts (i.e.. motor block and cylinder...

    Water leak inside engine cowl-50 hp Force

    On the first boat ride of my vacation and I discovered water in the engine compartment. It was wet all over including some milkyness in the carb. With the cowling off and the engine running, I could see water coming out underneath where the alarm buzzer is on the cylinder head. It is a tough...

    Should I re-assemble with the used trigger?-1994 Force 50

    Thanks to this forum I diagnosed a bad stator and rectifier on my motor. It's a 9 amp thunderbolt system. With tips from this forum I got the flywheel off and managed to get a used stator (tests perfectly) and a new rectifier. My question is with the trigger. It only reads 800 ohms, and...

    50 hp Force Starting problems - runs great when it does start

    I hope you can help or give me some direction. I can get my motor running, and when it starts it runs great, idles fine and revs fine....at home in a bucket. Problem is it has only started roughly 1 in 30 tries this season. Twice when I've launched it at the lake, it would not start...

    Fuel Diaphram - 1994 50 hp - change it when it's running well?

    Thanks to this forum, my force motor is running well and now hitting the max. rpm. I wish it had a little more get up and go for the bayliner 1401. I've had it for 5 years and have never replaced the fuel diaphram and I doubt the original owner ever replaced it. From this forum it sounds like...

    Original spark plug wires vs. replacement

    For the last couple of years I've been running an original spark plug wire (0 resistance) and a replacement spark plug wire (4 @ 20K on my electrical meter) on my 1994 Force 50 hp. It ran okay, only stalling occasionally when put into gear. Since reading about spark plug wires on this forum...

    50 hp head gasket and exhaust gasket questions

    I have a blown head gasket on my 50 hp 1994 Force from getting water in the gas. The metal ring snapped on one cylinder. From other threads I will need to torque to 270 inch pounds? Can anyone tell me the order or pattern I should use to tighten the head bolts? When ordering the head gasket...

    Head Gasket Advice

    My 1994 50 Hp Force worked awesome most of the summer, then it wouldn't idle one day to the point that I couldn't get it into gear and needed a tow home. I In mucking around with it, water in the fuel was the problem. It ran much better with fresh fuel but still would not idle. The local...

    Need lower unit for 1992? 35 hp Force

    Took lower unit to local marina for rebuild and they found too many issues with it and recommended not doing it. Some parts that were needed were no longer available and more than half the parts in it needed to be replaced. The ring between the prop and lower unit was stripped right out and it...

    1992 35 HP Force won't go into gear

    I'll be heading up to the cottage this weekend and I'm looking to get this motor up and running. I was told it starts and runs fine. When you put it into forward or reverse it revs higher but will not go into gear. It has always been stored outside and I'm thinking the neutral idle is stuck...
