    Force 70 Leak?

    Guys, was laid up last year and boat wasn't used after winterizing in Fall of 2021. Just fired her up on the hose today and not sure if this is excessive water leaking out. The water pump impeller was replaced last spring but the engine hasn't been run until now. I don't ever seem to remember...

    Bottom Paint Recommendation

    Can someone recommend a bottom paint for below. The boat was bought used and now is a trailered only boat. This would be for looks only. The paint rubs off when you touch it but not as much as in the past. Got a price on soda blasting and that's out of the question. I really don't want to go...

    Serial Number - Force 70HP

    Broadkill River, Milton DE

    Anybody familiar with this area? I see from Google Earth shots they have a ramp with some decent sized boats docked nearby. Just wondering about water levels and how the tides affect launching. Looks like a nice run down to Lewes.

    Lake Winnipesaukee

    Originally posted by CJ River Rider View Post Thanks for the advice, going up there in late July & staying at the Center Harbor Inn. Was debating to get a newer lake chart card for my Garmin plotter which only has coastal charts, but now I think I'll get it! Rocks in the middle of the lake...

    What's this part called?

    Guys, have a question about stiff steering. When I disconnect the steering cable from the "connector" piece, the cable slides freely when I turn the steering wheel & the motor pivots freely. I'm assuming the part circled in red needs to be replaced. It's frozen in place underneath the motor...

    Garmin G2 Map Update Card

    Anybody out there using a Garmin GPS with the Bluechart G2 maps? They have a G2 update card that runs from $69 to $99 dollars and I am wondering if anyone bought this update and it's worth it or not? Last winter for kicks & giggles, I took the unit with me when I walked all around Sandy Hook NJ...

    Prop Play on New Quicksilver Prop

    Have a 1995 or so Mercury Force 70HP motor which had a 10" 17 pitch prop. The Mercury dealer suggested and sold me a 10-1/8" 15 pitch prop. When I picked it up, he set inside the prop the Flo-Torq hub for me. After installation, I notice the prop can slide up and down about a 1/8" between the...

    Newbie question here coming in from the jet-ski world. I need a new prop for the above motor on a 95/96 Blue Water 15.5' which according to what little info I can find on it weighs 760lbs. While I can't verify rpm, I gps'd it before I dinged it this week-end at 32mph at top speed with little...

    Fiberglass/color restorer

    Can someone recommend a good compound or fiberglass restorer for below. I think this is fiberglass and not a gel-coat, the boat is supposed to be a 1996 model year. As you can see, it's pretty faded. Thanks in advance.
