Re: 1992 70 hp force motor

First off, you can get parts to repair your Chrysler. Pistons are still available from aftermarket sources ( I prefer Wiseco) and other parts can be had at franzmarine@aol.com. Or, Go` to The Chrysler Crew and ask there.

Secondly, the 70 and 75 by Mercury are different than most other Force engines. Many parts are not swappable with other three cylinder engines. There is nothing wrong with the engines per-se, but personally, I don't care for them.
