Force 120 identification

[Boxhead]

Hi all,
i am new to the boating seen and have been given a boat with a Frce outboard on it. I need to order an impeller kit for it and need to know some details about the engine. The only numbers i can find on the engine are on the transom mount bracket,

Model--1208e92c
Serial--025085

does the 92 represent the year?

Any information on this engine would be greatly appreciated, also are the force engine known for using a lot of fuel?

Cheers

Corey

Re: Force 120 identification

the 92 does represent year, at least on my chart. However, i could only find 1208X92C & 1201E92C. neither are your model number but from what i've heard, Force had literally hundreds of models for any given hp & year.

Yes, it is a 1992 model.

Force were built to a budget, they do not contain the latest (for the time) technology. But, if maintained correctly, it will perform for many years. As for the fuel consumption, all large carburetted outboards are thirsty, it all depends on how hard you push it.

You could try calling Mercury Marine with that information.

When I had to identify my 1998 model and find proper prop numbers, they were quite helpful. I got the support from this page
and this number 920-929-5040.
