Well, I jumped in with both feet tonight and changed my first outboard water pump. I have a 1990 50hp Force. The job was easier than expected and the parts were right. I took it to the lake tonight and the difference in the amount of water coming out of the rear of the engine was enourmous! <br /><br />If you need any Force parts, check out my buddy Walt @ marineparts.com. He looked up a few small parts that nobody in my area would bother with (I'm in NC and he is in Florida). I have bought a starter and my water pump kit from him also and received excellent service and quick delivery.<br /><br />Thanks for all the posts here at IBoats. Reading some of these have given me the guts to go ahead and work on my own boat (my first).<br /><br />Say what you want about Force engines. They are easy to work on and mine runs like a top. I needed a low budget package, and that's what I got. I can live with that.<br /><br />Chris
