Why does everybody hate Force?

Well guy48065 that is the one that is pricey, agree with you of that one.
It is because it is only available from Mercury.
But most of the impellers to Force are from 15 dollars up to about 45 dollars.

I also have 3 Eska outboards that need impellers. NOS are crazy expensive but these motors are even older and maybe more plentiful so you can get impellers from China for $12.

Our mfrs, distributors & retailers do it to themselves with their "what the market will bear" pricing.

Edit to add: that $12 chinesium Eska impeller is the same ID and only .006" larger diameter than the Force/Merc.
I'm thinking about giving it a try but the boating season is about over in Michigan.
Barrel season goes on a couple more months. Lol
