I bought a 1988 Force 125, I will mount it with jack plates to space it out 9 inches. Would it be okay to use 1/2 inch ss threaded rod? Also I bought a Clymer shop manuel but is covers too much and is not very specific to the 125. Is there a better manuel I could get? Thanks.

Re: JACK PLATES

Don't understand where you would use the SST rod. Can you be more specific?<br /><br />On the manuals, you could get a shop manual from a dealer. They would cover you rexact engine with a lot more details.<br /><br />However, I had an 1987 Force about 10 years ago, and used the Clymer manual for all I needed. Most things that were not covered in the Clymer required more tools than most people have at home to use. So I never bought the full shop manual.

I wouldn't use threaded rod. I would recommend the mounting bolts made for mounting the jack plate to the boat and the motor to the plate. Bob's Machine sells a kit with all necessary bolts and self locking nuts.<br /><br />Good luck!
