1989 125 hp force<br />i was reading in my manual that there is a screw you do not <br />remove to drain the oil as it is a shift pin but when i looked i<br /> looked and looked and there was only 1 screw on the lower <br />end of my motor i removed it i hope it was the right one <br />(it was the only one and three of us were looking)<br />anyways it was on the rounded part of the lower end and<br /> the opening was recesed a bit and the screw was about an inch long<br />i have used the boat since and it went into gear good and worked fine<br />other than the fact i would not speed up (but i am told that i a carbourater<br />problem which i will fix soon ) anyways would it be that i got the right <br />screw or possibly that it went back into place i have also put the motor in gear and tried to turn the prop <br />by hand and it would not turn easily you could hear the compression on the motor as<br />i turned it over im guessing that is a good thing also when in neutral it turns real easy <br />that should be a good thing should i be checking things out down there when i chance the impeller ?<br /><br />PLEASE PLEASE tell me some good news <br />Sorry new to the boating thing and boy there is alot to learn<br />
