    1990 Force 120 Carb bowl leaking.

    Uncovered the boat yesterday..yeah. I changed the in-line fuel filter, and when done pumped up the fuel line to check for leaks. No leaks in fuel line, but when the bulb was pumped hard the top carb bowl would leak a little bit. I figure that the bowl would never see the pressure I put on it...

    Want to Build T-Top of Center Console??...Help

    I am a new owner to a 1990 18' Wellcraft center console. The boat is great, can't wait to catch a few stripers next spring. Highest on my wish list is a T-Top, but I don't have the cash to purchase one($1100), but would think it to be relatively easy to fabricate myself. Has anyone done this...

    1990 Force 120hp, what octane fuel.

    Wondering what people feel on this one. What octane fuel do you reccommend on a 1990 120hp Force, and what oil do you think is the best. Do you add a fuel stabalizer and/or a decarb in your fuel?<br /><br />Thanks.
