Late 80's model in a renken
So last week comin back from tices, the boat felt like it fell out of gear a few times, i figured it was a prop hub and just eased it back home.
This week i take it out, with the new prop everything is fine, get to tices about to anchor up and the drive won't go...
Just bought this engine, runs great for $400. The only thing I haven't really been able to figure out, is there are 2 separate bundles of 2 wires coming up from the trim pump, the thick green and blue wires with a plug that has metal prongs in the shape of a T, and then theres the other bundle...
Ok, so couple of months ago a guy put on craigslist that he had a 1981 175 Johnson Short shaft selling for 400. I called him up and he said he would sell it to me told me that he took it off his boat because it was too much of a gas hog and he didn't really need all the power *older retired*...

Now the one weird thing i did notice is that the plastic sticker on the 75 has VOID printed...
I have this 115 mariner red stripe, the only number i could find was on a plate and is 6127508, i'm thinking maybe its a 1975? Its an inline 6, and it starts right up with a turn of the key the only problem is it takes off like dog chasing a rabbit, immediatley just runs to as high rpms as...
I got this boat for free, with the trailer. The force engine is blown the flywheel key was sheered off and it over advanced I guess. The problem I'm having is figuring out how much the boat could be worth if it was fixed up, not really planning on selling it but I'd like to know. The capacity...
I'm not bald but I'm going to be after I'm done pulling my hair apart over this motor. I have tried everything in the manual but the tests done dont match up (ie i have another force same model, w/ a blown powerhead but it has spark) Like when I tried to do the stator test (not ohms that tested...
