hi guys im a newbie here ill 1st say hello..lol
so i have a couple issues with my 50 h/p force, bought the boat about 5 years ago and used it the 1st 2 years constantly and a couple times the 2nd year there was some buzz going off under the dash after going full throttle to the fishing spot of choice, i have no guages so my only guess was temp warning? and i noticed not much water was coming out the upper holes, it would spit at best and seemed to be about null the last time i brought it out and the buzzer was on quite a bit that time
so my assumption was that the impeller was gone so it sat lonely the next 2 years and being laid off like too many others right now i decided it was time to either do something with it or let it go, well i went fishing a couple times from shore and got the bug again so i went to get the impeller and they need the serial/model number, so i ran home and the I.D. plate is completely white and all that can be read on it is "U.S. Marine", so i pulled out the impeller which as near as i can tell was hard, worn and curved pretty good so im on the right track i think
i brought in the part and we matched it up and stuck it back together and all seemed happy, so put on the ear-muffs and it started right up, thank god for sta-bil..lol ran it for a bit and it really only was spitting again, there was nowhere near any "pee-stream" as i guess id call it
and again i heard that buzz shortly before shutting it down, it had run about 10-15 mins, i have no tach but id guess from idle to around 2,500 RPM was the range i ran it in
now for the questions
#1 is the buzz an overheat warning?
#2 i also read in here there was gaskets for the impeller on force motors...of which mine had none therefore i didnt replace any, should there be some?
#3 the "date plate" has 88 in the lil circle so im assuming its an 88 motor, but is there anyway else to identify what i have?
#4 is there a 2nd water pump on these motors? and if so where is that sucker?..lol
any help would be greatly appreciated and thanx in advance
