"Recently bought a 1983 bayliner with a 85 force motor. Motor hasn't run in about 2 years. Wouldn't start so replaced starter. Then did plugs wires, cleaned carb, adjusted throttle. Runs great with ears, but as soon as you put it in the water only runs in neutral. Any ideas? Someone thought maybe CD powerpack? not sure any help would be GREATLY appreciated."

"that happened to me with my 85 hp and it turned out to be a blown head gasket. do a compression test and see. it should be over 100 psi, and relativly uniform. good luck
