    Outboard Change

    I currently have a little 14' 87 Bayliner Capri open bow that USED to have a 50hp force attached (it's currently on a stand in my basement with a nice hole in the side of a cylinder wall and needle bearings flung throughout the engine case). I've been told that the boat is probably worth more...

    Heater fan switch in a Jeep Wrangler

    I haven't even taken the dash apart yet, but I'm assuming my problem is just corrosion that needs to be cleaned. I have a 97 Wrangler and 4 heater/AC fan settings are now low, low, low, and high! :eek: :rolleyes: <br /><br />Any other ideas or anyone ever experience this problem? With the...

    Outboard weights..

    Does anyone know of anywhere I can check out to find the weights of outboard engines? Specifically a 87 Force 50hp vs. a 75hp Mercury (year not known..model # in pic looks like OB013101)looks to be about the same age from the picture. Any help is really appreciated! :)

    Force 50hp.....blown up AGAIN

    I have a 87 14' Bayliner with a 50hp Force. I finished rebuilding the engine (bored, pistons, rings, head milled, new gaskets, impeller, thermostat...)only a month or two ago. It's been running great since then with no problems whatsoever...until last weekend. Apparently the Force was not with...

    Whale Tail Thoughts

    Does anyone have any thoughts on these aluminum plates? Pros and cons? I have one on a 14 ft bayliner with a 50hp force that I recently bought, and am considering taking it off. It's easy to see that it's very effective as far as keeping the boat planed out, but if I do say a slow figure eight...

    Thought I'd put a new subject on this since I'm so far into ittat this point. To see what led up to this, look for "87 50 hp Force Overheating". thanks<br /><br />Ok, so I've taken off the head, flywheel, starter, wiring harnesses from the port side, shift and throttle cables from the other...

    I have an 87 Bayliner 14 with this engine. It has overheated and shut down already. Seems to have compresion still, just checking by hand, so hopefully I'm ok there. My question is, can someone give me some step by step instructions on getting to the water pump impeller and thermostat on this...

    Horn Problem - 87 Bayliner 14,50hp Force

    I just bought this boat, took it out for the first run on Monday. After about an hour, I tried to turn the lights on (which worked fine when I got the boat home) and the back light didn't work. It ended up just being the bulb, but while i was moving the switch for the lights that night on the...

    top parts needed for 89 Dynasty 17'

    Here's a classic story. While trying to put the top on the boat, I dropped one of the short 1'-1 1/2' metal braces that holds the top on in the water....gone for good. It's the piece that connects directly to the side of the boat. If anyone out there has one that you would like to sell, please...

    Force outboard fuel premix

    Just a general question. I just bought an 87 bayliner with a 50hp Force outboard, only forgot to ask what the gas/oil mix ratio should be. Anyone who knows, I would really appreciate it! Thanks
