    1972 Evinrude 85

    Hi folks, I just got an older unit both boat and motor are 1972. I am used to the telltale showing the water pump doing it's job but this engine doesn't have one. I never thought about it but I guess they all don't have this feature on them. I know you can add this to a few different engines...

    Concerning my 77 Chrysler 135 I removed the lower bearing carrier in the gear case and replaced the seals and can't find the torque specs listed anywhere. Anyone know what this is? Thanks, Nick

    Chrysler / Force Reliability

    You know I constantly hear people putting down Chrysler's & especially Force engines. It's like the automotive world where Chevy guys hate Fords and Chrysler guys hate Chevy's and so on.... I myself have never really had any issues with what I own. I always said MAINTENANCE is the key. A little...

    Lower gearcase bearing carrier

    I am trying to remove the lower bearing housing from my 77 Chrysler 135 to replace the seals and can't seem to find any bolts long and strong enough to get the job done. Anyone have any suggestions? I bought some all thread and made my own bolts however they just bent and didn't budge the...

    Testing Tilt/Trim unit

    Hello, I recently bought an original 1979 vintage tilt/trim unit for my Chrysler 135 engine and was wondering if I could test the operation of it off the transom. Is it safe to just hook up the battery to it and see if it works or will that make it come apart or leak without any pressure...

    Charging system issue

    Ok so I was checking my charging system and there wasn't anything of a charging system to speak of. Took the wires off the rectifier and did the tests the book called for and determined it was bad. Got one off ebay hooked it up and pretty much the same thing on the battery end. The ohms...

    Tilt / Trim wiring

    In relation to my other post can anyone tell me how to wire up this tilt / trim unit? I'm going to get another control with the trim switch on the control handle you use with your thumb as on my bass boat. The harness is still on the vintage 1979 assembly I just got from a 115 Chrysler. I'm...

    Tilt / Trim units

    I recently got an older boat to restore with a Chrysler 135 OB on the back with no tilt & trim. I just picked up a nice used very clean unit to put on it and don't see any switch to use in conjunction with a gauge on the dash to tell where the motor is? DoesChrysler not use a switch/gauge...

    Force 125 with 25" shaft versus 20

    I recently bought a Force 125HP engine for my girlfriends Bayliner and didn't think about the shaft length. The old motor was a short shaft and this motor is the longer shaft. I didn't think about it until I bolted it on and then noticed the longer shaft. The transom on this boat takes a 20"...

    1977 Chrysler 135HP Lock ring / Seal

    Hello again, I dropped the lower gearcase off my 135 and noticed there is a metal ring beneath the seal up near the splines where it goes into the powerhead. How does this come off so I can slide the water pump housing off the shaft to replace the impeller? I haven't tried to do anything yet as...

    1986 Force 125hp Compression

    Hello, Went to look at a motor for my womans Bayliner and the motor had 165 165 170 170 for compression written in a black marker on the head. This sounds awful high to me but maybe it isn't. For an 86 engine of this type is this typical? I just got the 77 135Hp Chrysler and it has 125 125 125...

    19'77 Chrysler 135hp

    Hello, I'm new to Chrysler engines and just recently got this 135 on a boat I purchased. I been looking up parts and see how scarce they are. Some parts are few and far between and not easy to locate. Why are there not many parts for this motor? Try looking up a prop and there just isn't...

    1977 135HP Tilt / Trim Issue

    Hello I have a 1977 Chrysler 135HP engine and was wondering if I took a vintage Tilt/Trim unit from a motor that has this if I could bolt it on to my motor. Mine is manual of course and has the 3 bolt holes on the side of the bracket where the motor bolts up. I am new to Chrysler motors and...
