    Force 150 hp won’t shift properly in forward?

    Well, great news, I found the problem. I had turned the shift cable clamp upside down, and fastened it up that way, and it was jamming up, preventing the shifter to move to the forward position. After correcting that it shifts nice and smooth now!

    Force 150 hp won’t shift properly in forward?

    Yes, it shifts into both forward and reverse. I was able to get some help from my wife and when she worked the remote control, I was back at the motor and noticed that the interlock lever seem to block the movement of the tower year to keep it from rotating in order to accelerate. When going in...

    Force 150 hp won’t shift properly in forward?

    Hello everyone, thanks for all the help you’ve given me in the past with my 150 hp force outboard. Last fall I had the misfortune of fishing line getting wound around the prop shaft behind the propeller that took out the seals and lost all gear grease. When they went to drain the old grease and...

    150 hp lower unit replacement

    Thanks! I was hoping that they didn’t have to match the original LU, so that is great! I have another question for you guys though, I pressure tested the replacement lower unit with the oil drained out of the gear case and the gear case held seven psi, but anything over that leaked out of the...

    150 hp lower unit replacement

    Yeah, that’s for sure! I am very handy, but I don’t think I’ve got the tools to do a proper seal job and tear down. I found a decent sounding used lower unit on eBay and the pressure test numbers sound good but I’m not sure it will work. Here are some photos, please let me know if you think it...

    150 hp lower unit replacement

    I have a 1992 Force 150 hp outboard. At the end of the season I went to drain the gear oil and only some water drained out and less than an ounce of oil. I pulled off the lower unit and the lower unit seem to be damaged and would not hold any pressure at all. Since the seals were shot and almost...
