    Max RPM of a 1984 Force 125

    I have a Bayliner 19' Capri with a Force 125. Does anyone know the WOT rpm's for this boat and motor? I don't think I am turning enough RPM's with my current prop. What size prop works well with this combination?<br /><br />Thanks!<br />CDC

    Starting Problems Force 125 Update

    A couple of weeks ago, I wrote in about my starter that would work fine the first time you would turn over the key, but would not turn the motor over if you shut it off and tried it again. After it would sit a little while, it would work fine. Anyway, I checked all connections, wires from the...

    Starting Problems Force 125!!!

    New battery, new starter, clean terminals, good connections, still have problem. When boat has been sitting for a while, you turn the key and it will spin over like it should, try to spin it again after a few seconds, and the starter will not turn motor over. I am totally confused on this one...

    Force 125 Starter Problems

    I put my boat away after last season with no problems. I am now getting it ready for the new season and went to start it but had some problems. First I noticed the starter was staying up in the flywheel so I WD-40 it and that took care of that. No when I try to start it, it turns the motor over...

    Force 125 Prop Shaft Seal

    My motor has been stored for the winter in the down position with the prop removed. I noticed a trace of lower end oil that seaped from around the shaft seal. I had the seals replaced at the begining of last years season. Is this concern for alarm? I operate my boat in fresh water and never hit...

    Grease Fittings!!!!!

    I have a Force 125 hp outboard with a couple of stripped out grease fittings. Do they make oversized fittings to repair stripped out threads. I have tried re-taping the hole but the new fittings won't bite because of the slightly larger opening from no threads left. I was greasing the pivot...

    Hard turning Force 125

    I have a 1985 Force 125 outboard that is very stiff to turn. I thought it was the steering cable but when I unhook the cable at the motor, the wheel turns easy so it has to be the motor. I tried greasing everything I could but did not seem to help. Has anyone else had this problem and how do you...

    Magic Tilt trailers

    I need to replace my two cross members on my bunk style trailer. I have tried to contact magic tilt directly but they only support dealers and I have no dealer close to me. Has anyone ever purchased replacement parts for your Magic Tilt? I hate the thought of buying a new trailer.<br /><br...

    Converting Bunk Trailers

    Has anyone ever converted their bunk trailer over to rollers? I have a 19' boat with a escort bunk trailer that I might change to rollers. My local boat store sells the kits and I was wondering if anyone else ever did this and how did it work for them.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />CDC

    Year old Gas

    I have a 19 foot Bayliner with a built in fuel tank and was wondering if my year+ old gas would be OK. I stored it with Sta-Bil and added water removing treatments when I last put it away. I also stored it without oil mix because I thought the straight gasoline would be better. Should I run the...
