    Force 85 HP tilt/trim model no.

    I got them apart with a torch and tje pliers from amazon. they were strong but I am still looking for the top of one of the valves . When it came off it flew, I know it is on my deck somewhere. LOL kind of like circlips or as I call them ""By jesus" clips. LOL

    Force 85 HP tilt/trim model no.

    Thanks! I just ordered from amazon. I tried my panel clip remover pry bar and almost damaged the check valve in my vice. it got scratched but I was able to buff it out. I think the panel clip pliers will work better. And I will use my propane torch as well.

    Force 85 HP tilt/trim model no.

    What is the tool shown in the FAQ being used to take the valves apart? It looks like a valve spring compressor but much smaller. It took me a bit to get the valves out of the pump body. it took 150lbs of air a rubber nozzle and blocking off every port. that removed one of the vales and the...

    Force 85 HP tilt/trim model no.

    Mine has the circlip style. On another T@T question . Where does the trailer lock go? I assume it fits in one of the manual tilt holes but it has two rods on one side. I am building one because I can't see paying $180 for a 5/16" rod. Every other OB I have owned has had a flip down at the...

    I agree a cheap China clone. I am going to return the "new" one. The seller was asking for information that according to Jerry and my own investigation does not exist. Thank you.

    Force 85 HP tilt/trim model no.

    Thanks Jerry, I am going to rebuild. This is probably an ignorant question but exactly where are these seals located are they under the hex bolts or behind the ports. I have watched your videos several times but I am unsure of their location. I do not mind the brutality. I was going to rebuild...

    I am installing this 85 hp force engine on my pontoon boat, I am looking at adding either the tell tale or a pressure gauge. Being it is a pontoon it will be hard to see the tell tale unless I aim it way up or run the hose along side the helm. Now the pressure gauges I have seen come in 30 or...
