    A ? for all of the FORCE knowledgable people

    The Mechanic at the FORCE Repair shop told me that a Thermostat was more trouble than it was worth. He said that they were only needed in Canada and the colder areas of the states. My question is doesn't that affect the performance of the 1991 90 HP FORCE that I had trouble with last year...

The problem is I have run across 13 1/4" and 13 1/2" and 13 3/4" Dia's and the lowest pitch was 15" then...
