I just received a boat from my uncle that came with the Mercury 1984 125 HP Force Outboard engine. I've been trying to find information on the engine (cylinders, cc's, etc) and have found many forum posts stating that the Force engines are crap. While those that seem to have owned them say the opposite, that they are very "decent" engines, but not top of the line. While all that is fine and dandy, the one I have runs great (out of water). The boat that came attached to it is not pretty at all and needs quite a bit of time out of the water to get it in-water shape.
I'm a new boater (this is my first boat) and I would like to know the questions I need to ask to purchase a new propeller for this boat. I know now (after speaking to Mercury Marine over the phone) that it's a 1,626 cc engine with a 99.2 ci/displacement. I definitely need a new propeller but don't have a clue where I need to start...other than posting here. Any helpful tips for a new boater are also welcome.
The boat is a bayliner...(so I've been told) with the names "Sierra" written on several parts of it. Am I even asking the right questions? <shrug> Would help if I knew what to ask I guess.
