Thanks for reading. I'm trying to catch a catfish here at Lake Thunderbird in Oklahoma. Would you guys have any idea how deep to fish? The water temp is 85 at the surface. Thanks again.

It has been said that a Force is not worth rebuilding. I agree my 1990 90hp Force is old technology, but I am curious if I rebuild it with quality parts, shouldn't it last a long as any other rebuild engine?
I am thinking of rebuilding my 1990 Force 90hp. I priced pistons from dougrussell.com. The piston were two differnt prices. $50 for a normal piston or $100 for a "class 700" piston. Is there a lot of diffence in the quality of pistons?<br />Am I shopping in the right place?
Thanks for responding. I have bought my first boat and would like to take my two boys wakeboarding. I skied once, pack during the depression, but wouldn't have a clue about wake boarding. Could you point me in the right direction for some tips? My boys are 11 and 12 and wieght about 100lb...

According to Flyboymark "All Force outboards are rated at the prop since 1987(A requirement of BIA certification)". Does anyone have more info on this? Thanks guys.

I recently purchased a 1990 Bayliner Capri. Please don’t be mad. I know it is a the Kia of boats. I would like to restore the shine. The boat is white and I don’t think it had a clear coat over the white. It is not cloudy or flaking. It is just dull. I use a little Mcquire’s car...
Thanks for taking the time to help. I just bought a 1990 model Force 90 HP. Please forgive me. With the engine dead. When I shift into forward and push the control to full throttle the butterflies on the carbs are only a little more than half open. I have ordered a Seloc service manual and...
You guys are a great group of people, who have helped so many. I just wanted to say thanks in advance. I have noticed that some engine manufactures build engines that are the same wieght and CC displacement, but are differnt horse power. I notice the max RPM are different. My question is...
I just got permission to check out this 3.0 liter Mercruiser before I buy it. What a sharp 1996 Bayliner with less than 100 hours on it. The problem is when I pulled the spark plugs, the #1 plug had water between the gap. The plug was rusty. I dipped a screwdriver thought the plug hole and...
