    No Reverse New Side Mount Remote Control Box for Yamaha 10 Pins, Right Hand

    I just rebuilt my pontoon from deck up While removing the deck, I mistakenly cut through the control wires, so I bought a new remote control box. Today, when I took it out on the lake, it would only go forward and would go forward if I moved the throttle in the reverse position. When I moved...

    Yamaha C85 2 stroke slows down at WOT when warm

    This motor has 3 carbs and you mix the oil with the fuel. Before the season I changed all the jets, the float needles and seats and the idler needles as well as the fuel pump and the fuel filter and the spark plugs. I had water in my gas so it wouldn't start until I changed my gas. Then I had...

    Mechanical Steering outboard will only turn motor right and back to center

    97 Force 40 HP 2 Cylinder Starting Problem

    Put a new starter on my motor because the old starter's gear froze in the "up-starting" position. The new starter worked the first time, the motor ran for about 15 seconds, then the motor died (which is not unusual). Now the new starter can barely turn the flywheel. I tried rope starting the...

    1997 Force 40 HP Inconsistent Power at WOT

    I have a 1997 Force 40 HP. This motor has 2 cylinders. Last year I had a power problem and discovered a bad CDM. I changed both CDMs and solved the problem. This year started off well, but after about 3 weeks in the water I had power problems again. I replaced the CDMs and plugs again, but...

    1997 Force 40 HP One Cylinder Not Firing

    I have a 1997 Force 40 HP. This motor has 2 cylinders. Cylinder 1 fires and cylinder 2 does not. When I swapped the CDM from cylinder 1 to cylinder 2, cylinder 2 fires and cylinder 1 does not. I swapped both the input and the spark plug. So, I figured the CDM on cylinder 2 is bad and I...
