Force motors aren't known for their performance.
My motor is 1998, RPM at WOT are just above the 4000, the propeller is 13 x 19 aluminum and the start is easy but the aceleration is poor, it takes several minutes to get the 30 MPH after adjusting the trim.
I?m going to check the boat this weekend with lower load to see what I can get.
Any more suggestions ????
Where did this statement come from? I'm sure a whole slew of Force owners will be glad to tell you how 'poorly' their Force motors perform.
My 18' bowrider with a 1991 Force 90 will reach 35MPH (GPS measured) with 500 lbs of crew and a full gas tank, about 39 with just me and a couple of gallons. Several other owners of similar set ups are in agreement.
Are you suggesting, Steel, that if I were to replace my Force with a similar vintage and rated hp Merc or Johnson, for instance, that my speed would improve?
