Help Identifying Force 120 Model

[jdamron]

I purchased a 1988 Wellcraft 20 Fisherman recently and at the time I assumed the included Force 120 was from the same year. However, after starting to look for parts it seems they did not make a Force 120 in 1988 so I really do not know what year or model the engine is. And the plate on the starboard side of the mounting bracket is worn so that the model number is not readable. :grumpy: I also found some numbers on the engine itself but those are really hard to read and do not seem to match up with Force 120 model numbers. If anyone can recognize this and provide advise on how to tell model number or at least year that would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Help Identifying Force 120 Model

You have a late 1992-1995 model.
So the model would be a 92C or later.

Key indicating components are
newer square Mercury type fuel pump
Thunderbolt ignition with switchbox, with screw on wire connections, and dark blue Mercury coils.


other indicator would be the bottom portion of the linkage that connects the carbs together


Pretty much all parts are interchangeable from 1992C thru 1995.

In 1996 the ignition changed again.
