    89 Force 125 Shifter Linkage question

    I just replaced the throttle and shifter cables on my 89 Bayliner with a Force 125 to fix a sticking shifter.<br /><br />Well I don't know what is happening now but the boat will shift into forward and reverse fine but the throttle won't engage. It looks like the shifter linkage on the motor is...

    89 Force 125 Exhaust routing/prop question

    My 89 Force 125 has the dual exhaust (around the prop shaft and the fin). The prop does not have a pass-through for the exhaust is this normal? I purchased the boat second-hand so I can't say if the prop is correct.<br /><br />I know the lower unit is off a 150 HP 1990+ because when I went to...

    Rebuilt Force 120/125 leaks water @ lower sparkplug hole

The rebuild powerhead that I recieved I believe is...

    Newly rebuilt 89' Force 125 no spark after swap

    I got my crate rebuilt motor on the boat and ready to fire and now I have NO SPARK. I was carefull to take pictures from the old powerhead that would start and run (with bad compression). I have everything connected correctly I believe. I am going to go through the manual and troubleshoot but...

    125 Force low compression what happened?

    Well I almost have my rebuilt powerhead ready to be mounted.<br /><br />In the mean time, the old motor had 10 PSI compression in the middle two cylinders. Only two things can cause this right? Overheat, or no oil in the gas or lean mixture (ok three things).<br /><br />I just want to be sure...

    88 Force 125 Tilt/Trim valve rebuild?

    Ok not to beat a dead horse but I tried to fix my tilt/trim leakdown problem and now I have parts that I can't put back together and don't appear to be anything like the ones described in the earlier $4 fix post. <br /><br />The motor is an 88' Force 125<br /><br />Here are two pictures one of...
