    Intermittent starting problems.

    I'm at a loss currently and thought I worked all the gremlins out but I guess I was wrong. Backstory - motor is a 98 force Mercury 2 stroke. Replaced the plugs, ignition packs, starter solenoid, starter, starter cables and new battery. This seemed to have fixed all my starting issues going...

    First time starting after winter mode?

    So I have a 98' Force 40hp 2-stroke that unfortunately didn't get winterized because of a bad starter. I plan on siphoning all the old gas out and putting in some fresh gas before the season starts. Is there any additive that is recommended to help things run smoothly I can throw in?

    Help. 40HP Force Motor is only running on 1 cylinder.

    Few weeks ago out on the water the motor died it sounded like it wanted to start, but just couldn't turn all the way over. Fast forward to new plugs and the boat starts/idles fine.

    1998 Tracker PT 165 - Trolling Motor Issues

    Has anyone replaced their trolling motor on an earlier tracker? The access hole is only large enough for the wires of the TM to fit through to the plug that installed on the deck of the boat. Looking at it, it looks like i would have to pull the entire deck off to somehow manage to get to the...
