Force Outboards 3-150HP 1984-1999 Repair Manual 1-4 Cylinder, 2 Stroke - Seloc

This manual helped me understand my motor operations so that I could get it fixed.

I purchased a 1998 17 ft. alum. fishing boat with a 50 hp Force engine on it. Engine seems to run quite well except at a wide open throttle. Bought this book on force engines to see if it could shed any light on the problem. Problem was solved with a new fuel filter and all new gas lines. Seems that there was a small fuel leak in one of the lines. At open throttle it leaned the gas out to much and started missing. This along with a 15 year old fuel filter was the problem. Still reading the book looking for more info.! Scott

The book is just what i needed, again thank you.

Only thing it didn't tell me: if was a 2 stroke and gas and oil mixture. Found out from dealer by serial # of Mecury Force outboard. Other than that it was very helpful for my 91 85hp, and 96 120hp engines

The manual was a great benefit toward making needed repairs to my boat motor. iBoats was also a great help in finding a source for the correct parts needed to make the repairs. I talked with 3 different tech and they were all very professional and helpful. They were able to help me find the only source in the country that had the needed part in stock.

There was no parts view, exploded view, torque spec for reinstalling the power head. only a general overview of what to remove and the reverse to reassemble. Power head to shaft housing bolts, gaskets, torque information not available.

Manual could be somewhat confusing at times trying to separate Chrysler from Mercury year model... Pictures were lacking for Mercury Force later models.. but overall helpful

Book came as advertised and is very helpful in getting engine to run. This motor has'ent run in 20 yrs.It has only 214 hrs on it.I am still trying to find spark but have replaced water pump using the manual.This a 125 hp force engine on a bayliner cuddy cabin boat 1986.Boat has not been in water in 20 yrs,so I am refitting all .

Very informative

Very well laid out, easy to follow, great information.

Changed the impeller on my 1988 Force 85hp in one afternoon.

I am not a mechanic and this manual is perfect for me. Lots of pictures, details and makes it easy to understand and use.

It's a little hard to find the information you are looking for because of the amount of information in this book because of so many models in one manual.

Manual is very informative and helpful. I will keep it in the boat with me.

I was very pleased with the speed of their service and the quality of the merchandise ordered. The repair manual ordered was more than I expected and I will be recommending iboats to my friends. Thanks F.R. Terrell

received order in 2 days. thats servive. looks like it should be very helpful. thank you. no problem doing business with you again.

Detailed yet understandable language for layman use.now have one on order for my johnson 150 hp! Good job

This seloc manual covers a wide array of parts and the how to knowledge to work on you're outboard motor. The picture and explanations are good and this lets me know When I'm better off having a technician do the work. This has helped clarify certain procedures that I've undertaken.

very much a machanics manual. some parts of the book are more indepth than I needed. answered my question- force: the mutt of the outboards. great manual.

Great book with information for most everything on service or repair. Lots of time and money saving ideas.

The repair manual meets my needs as for information about my 1996 40 Hp Out board

EXCELENT

This is a great manual. Followed the instructions and made repairs and the boat is on the water again. Thanks

Top Notch as usual from iboats. Will continue to shop here for as much of my boating needs as I can.

Really needs to be edited for different groupings of the motors. Short on details. Couldn't find recommended spark plugs, for example. Description of cooling systems and problems vague. Good as a general introduction to the motors bu not so helpful for a teardown/rebuild

The SELOC manual for Force Ourboards contains a great deal of helpful information but because it covers many models from many years there is much to sort out that is not related to my motor. There are a few illustrations where the caption does not match the photograph Page 3-9 Fig. 30, Page 3-14 Fig.44. Over all I expect that it will be a great help in maintaining my outboard.

Received the manual in two days, great service. The manual was everything I wanted and more. I rebuilt all 3 carbs on my 1997, 90hp and was able to adjust the throttle linkage and idle speed to perfection in no time. It is worth every dime, I saved a lot of money by doing this myself. The motor is running great now. I would recomend this to every boat owner.

the manual is great just read it you will find out what you need to know thanks, motor runs great now. malcolm covington, ga.

The manual has a lot of great info, especially if you are new to outboard motors and boating. The photos and charts are not as updated and specific as I had hoped for. The manual was a bit pricey considering all, but these are old outboards and it is very difficult to find any specific manual or OEM parts for them. If you are new to outboards and boating you will appreciate this product. If you are a veteran small engine mechanic and mariner, you may want something more specific. All in all I am satisfied with my purchase. Shipped fast too!

good book

Have'nt tried the starter yet, but all I know at this time from what I have bought from iboats these guy's are on it order filled and shiped right away.

Over all breakdown of electrical system of my 125 after getting a blow up of pictures of page 5-67 and than narrow down of blown up picture of ignition switch. After calling technical assistance and addressing to Kevin, SELCO Publising, he responded by sending these pictures, I was able to trouble shoot the electrical system and found the cause of my no start. Problem being a bad starter relay and a bad neutral interlock switch. (I patted my self on my back, thanks to Kevin and technical system of SELOC Publishing Department) Trouble shooting the Trim Tilt page 9-6 two wire Trim motor electrical test excellent. The only problem I have left is the Trim Cylinder two front bolts, are broken causing the cylinder to be elongated and stuck all the way out. Page 9-10 gives you information on the Trim Cylinder probably a more knowledgeable mechanic than me, would know what to do, how do I handle taking that apart, without causing more of a problem. I would appreciate any help with this matter or does SELOC make a manual containing more of 1984 to 1989 125 Force, that I can purchase. Thank you for your help! Dennis

These are well written and layed out instructional manuals. Topics are easy to find and the material covered is extensive.

Some aspects of the manual can be a bit confusing. When looking at the wiring diagrams there are so many different motors featured that it can be hard to decipher which diagram is for your motor. The one I found it to be was for one serial number and above. Mine was below that serial but by looking at wire colors I determined that that one was the only logical choice for my engine.

picture boock 1-4 cylinder only.i need 5 cylinder 150.please why is correct

Very easy to understand with good diagrams.
