It depends on what year Force and what year Mercury. There was a change in the controls, but I am not sure what years.

Chrysler made them thru 1983.<br />UsMarine made them from 1984 thru bankrupcy in 1989.<br />Mercury made them from late 1989 thru 1999.<br /><br />What years is yours?<br />Got a model and serial number?

The samething happened with my boat 1st time out and it was just a head gasket. I would pull the head and see from there, at the very least you will know for sure.<br /><br /><br />Chris
