Re: 1997 force 50hp exhaust
Ok, so right below the cowl it is venting then. Well, I would say its better off for you to find another mech..not the one who did the work last year, or if interested, try getting some of your money back from last year. Cause the only thing I can think of is a blown head gasket...or worse. Maybe even a cracked head. Either way, I would not spend a whole lot on that motor. Heres the current value and the used value...

Now, that being said its hard to really get the correct value of a used outboard, but you paying what you did last year, the guy really saw you coming and well...he got ya pretty good. You could have bought a good uesed fourstoke for that kinda money. You may think of just replacing that outboard if he tells you its a goner...Good luck anyway and let us know what you find out.
And please have one check it out, dont take what I say for as truth, I could be wrong...never know. may be something easy. Just telling you what i know thats all.
