    mercury vs force differences

    I tried to get answers under the Force forum and only got one, so I thought I'd try it under Mercury. I am looking at a 1992 Bayliner Walk Around sport fisherman that has the original Force 150 HP outboard on it. Owner has receipts for a new powerhead 2 years ago. He says it was made by mercury...

    force 150 HP general questions

    I am looking at purchasing a 1992 Bayliner walk around with a 1992 Force 150 HP outboard. The guy that has it says it is the same as a Mercury but without oil injection.

    9.9 Evinrude fuel issue

    I recently purchased a 1978 Evinrude 9.9 outboard and have it on a small 16' pontoon boat. It starts right up and runs out great.
