Hello Hello!<br /><br />First time post 
<br /><br />I'm very new to the boating world and I just purchased a boat last weekend. It's a '84 Bayliner with an 85 horse Force outboard out back with only 100 hours on it. I picked up the whole boat and trailer for $2000. I figured, it wasn't the best, but hey, for my first boat, something this cheap and small would fit perfectly for my first time uses.<br /><br />I'm taking my first USCG saftey class this Saturday, and I've spent the last 2 weeks in the library reading... so I'm getting my skills up as quickly as possible. The best for me at this point, I think, is just pure hours out on the lake.<br /><br />I ordered the Seloc Force Repair Manual, but it's going to take about 3 weeks to get here. So, I have a question or two about my motor and was hoping someone had a good answer. I don't know when the last tune-up was done, so I'd like to do this. Does anyone know the part numbers for a set of plugs / wires for this? Also, how about the impeller model number? I'm going to change the lower unit oil (and go synthetic, I think) and lastly, tear down the carbs and rebuild them. I've cleaned out the fuel filter, and plan to run some type of gas treatment through the system. What else am I missing?<br /><br />Thanks for the help all!<br /><br />Ry.
