    Hard to start Merc

    My 1975 Mercury 110 9.8 is always a little tricky to start when I use it. It runs great and idles smoothly. Just takes a dozen pulls to get her running. Seems alot tougher than other small outboards I've used. Any tricks to give my arm a rest?

    15 hp replacement carb?

    I have a 1989 Force made by craftsman that wont run right. I can start it but it won't idle and it wont gain rpms unless I shake the tiller handle when it's running. I'm not sure what is wrong with it but when I took the carb apart I saw the nozzle is cracked. I cant find this exact carb...

    Won't idle. Electrical problem?

    I have a 1989 15 hp force that I just bought and I can't get it to idle. After finding some diagrams I learned that it had the wrong spark plugs in it so I got 2 new plugs, started it up, and it idled for a few minutes until I gave it some throttle then it wouldn't idle again. But not only will...

    Force outboard model number?

    Can someone find me a list of Force model numbers? I just got a 15 hp with model number 225 581501 and I cant seem to find that model number anywhere. The guy said it was a 1990 but I just wanted to check.

    Looking at buying a 15 hp Force. Opinions?

    I've been looking for a motor for some time and I found someone that will sell me a 1990 force 15 hp. The guy said it needs the carb fixed and he was going to take it to a mechanic, get it fixed, and sell it for $500. But he said he'd sell it to me as is for $250. I was trying to find the price...

    Anyone have any experience with Mariners? I have never personally used one nor do I know anyone who has. Found one local for sale at a good price but wanted to ask all you experts on here about it. Thanks in advance!

    Switch to decrease voltage?

    So I built the livewell in my jon and Im using a 800 GPH bilge to circulate the water in it. The pump actually runs alot stronger than I would like so I was wondering if anyone had an idea to resist the voltage and make my pump run slower. Some sort of dimmer switch I guess but I dont know much...

    Cure for a stinky livewell?

    I had a buddy fab up a livewell from an aluminum sheet I had at the house. I put it in my 14' Jon and it wasnt very practical to put a drain in it. Anyway, it seems like after keeping fish in it or even bait it always stinks afterwards. I guess I should expect it to stink but I try to rinse it...

I found out from the tag that it is a 7.5 HP and I used the model number (574.60080) to do some research and found out it was made in 1961. Other...

    14' Fishmaster 1432

    Just bought this jon boat the other day. Looks like it hasnt been used much but has been weathered from sitting outside for years. None the less still a good solid boat and the guy assured me it doesnt leak a drop. Payed $500 for the boat and he threw in a minnkota 30lb endura, 2 anchors, and I...
