Water Intake

[ForceHeadache]

I am fairly new to boating. Does anyone know where a 1985/85hp Force motor water intake is located? I bought a set of rabbit ears to run motor at the house and can't find the intake to put the rabbit ears onto.<br /><br />Thanks

Re: Water Intake

Hello again. TThe intake is underneath those two fins,or wings on the lower unit. Below that, and above the prop, on both sides...It should have a white plastic screen inside . These screens break easy.so yours may just have a hole with a plastic "ring". Don't worry if it is tho. They are cheap to replace, and you can snap them in whenever you change the impeller.This should be done every 2years or 80hours continous operation.<br />You'll know if it's working ok,if you have water spitting from the two exaust ports on the back of the leg, and from the prop exaust.
