    1984 force 125 Leaking tilt and trim?

    Is this the TILT cylinder with the knick? Any knicks or gouges in the cylinder wall is not good.....can damage the o-rings and not seal good. And anytime a line is removed you will have to bleed the air out again.

    Chrysler Break in Procedure

    When you go to do the 20 min idle, you may find you have more work to do....won't start, leaks, etc. That 20 min run on the hose is just to make sure the engine is ready to run on the water....like The Force power said, the rest of the running needs to be done in the water and under load.......

    Chrysler Break in Procedure

    You could do it all in one day if you wanted to but 10 hours of actual running is a long time.....probably more realistic to do several hours at a time. Have never seen anything that says it has to be done in a certain time frame....so if you want to run it at high idle/neutral for 20 mins then...

    Chrysler Break in Procedure

    https://maxrules.com/fixbreakin.html My factory manual shows a PH break in procedure, but I used this one from MasterTech Marine.....is basically the same but has a lot more detail and additional info.

    1984 force 125 Leaking tilt and trim?

    Was thinking that Chinese VB you got on ebay was suspect, now you have the motor apart...don't have much experience with that part of the system. If all else fails, Mastertech Marine has new API replacement units with complete motor and valve body assembly. Not cheap, but available...FYI

    Do all forces have overheat buzzers?

    Had an extra horn laying around, got the LED light at local parts store.....bought a temp gauge/sender from Faria Beede, but there are others available.....maybe should have went with a water pressure gauge instead.....

    How to set up an induction tachometer

    It wasn't long enough to reach my dash......way too short. Might be able to splice in some wire to make it longer but didn't want to do that.

    1984 force 125 Leaking tilt and trim?

    Are you filling the reservoir when the engine is fully down? You might recheck your hydraulic lines and make sure they are in the right holes on the valve body.....is not hard to get them in the wrong one......in this diagram the green arrow should go to the fourth hole, not the third one as...

    Do all forces have overheat buzzers?

    That explains why you probably don't have one......I would get one after you finish the other work you are doing......you might consider using a louder horn instead of the buzzer....need to be sure and hear it if it goes off.

    Big water leak inside cowl, any tips for this coming repair?

    I just noticed that Nordin said not to remove the spacer plate in post#4....not sure how you can replace that exhaust gasket without taking it off? Maybe he will chime in later and explain.....I would just get all three to be sure.....

    Big water leak inside cowl, any tips for this coming repair?

    Yeah....after looking at the diagrams again, that middle one looks like it goes between spacer and PH.....that one on the right not sure about.....all the listings I found for the exhaust gasket come with all 3.
