    I WANT TO PUT 89 FORCE ENGINE FROM L-DRIVE, ON 1987 FORCE BOAT

    My lower unit(or middle unit)is locked up on a 89 Bayliner L-Drive. I could not find any shop to even look at it. They all said no one works on them and the parts are really expensive if you can even find parts for them. So I decided to part out the boat. The Motor was rebuilt in 1999 and only...

    FORCE ENGINE WON'T TURN OVER

    I have an 85 Horse Force engine (L drive) in a 89 Bayliner. Last time I had it started it had sat in the garage for almost 9 months. It only ran about 15 seconds and now won't turn over. Someone told me that the water pump could've jammed from going dry. He said it would have sheared a pin...

    50 H.P. MERC Starter/elec. problem driving me crazy

    I just bought this boat and it had not been started in a long time. The battery cables were both red so I hope I have the polarity correct (think so). I bought a new starter for it because I thought the old one was shot (very worn). The starter spins counter clockwise when you turn the key, but...

    How can I take off Bottom Paint on fiberglass

    I bought an 89 Bayliner that was moored in Saltwater. The bottom paint turned green and was brushed on. I thought about sanding it smooth and then spray paint it. It has been on there a long time and has a lot of coats. It is not easy to remove (I have tried in several spots). Mostly I just want...

    Need Year for 50 Merc

    Outboard serial # is 3011845. Year, unknown. May need the starter fixed. The gears on the shaft spin but they don't engage - maybe it's the bendix.

    85horse Force won't turn over

    I have an 89 Bayliner "L" drive that sat in the garage all winter until today. Because it is hard to start after so long, I pulled the plugs, dried them off, squirted WD-40 in, then just one shot of starting fluid before putting the plugs back in. The motor started, ran 15 seconds then seized...
