Re: force 150 long leg

Hi fenris,<br /><br />Why would you like to use a Merc. leg or parts ? Parts for Force are still available in new or used. What you need is a short housing assy. with shaft and shift rod.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Smoky

In addition to what smokey said, info such as the exact model and year of your motor is important.

ok well i am in victoria, B.C (canada)<br />and force parts are harder to come by....that is what i would like to get, but if i cannot find it, then i was just wanting to know what else will work.....cause the force legs are merc....i belive it is a 94 or 95.....i can't get the model number off the mounting arm cause i replaced it cause it was cracked, if there is a # anywhere else let me know and i will get it....

Re: force 150 long leg

Sounds like you have a newer one that was made by Merc, after they bought Force. On these Merc made engines, the serial number is used for identifying the year and model.<br /><br />Serial number should look something like this. Eo123456<br /><br />Since you have one of the Merc units, I would go to a Merc dealer when he is not to busy.
