Just wondering if anyone can help me find parts for a 1986 125 hp force. All the parts will be for my lower unit. Is there a rebuild kit availible. I pretty much need the seals, o-rings, crush collar for the drive shaft bearing. I can buy the bearings from Motion Industries (I hope.) Also I think I may need some kind of washer for the prop. I lost it while in reverse over the weekend. The prior owner said he lost it and it shouldnt matter, yeah right huh.
thanks,

You can't just put these parts in your lower.They need special tools to shim the gear sets after you install the bearings.Jerry

Yeah, I figured that. Im not changing the races or bearing. Im not really changing any of the original parts except the crush collar and some o-rings and seals. I machined the clutch dog and both gears so the mesh is square again. They were pretty worn so it would not stay into gear. As far as the gear depth and backlash goes it should not change from factory. If I installed new bearings and gears then the gear depth and backlash would need to be re-set.
Thanks for keeping me on my toes Jerry. Do you still think this may be an issue even by reassembling all my old parts?
