Great first weekend, caught a dozen northern pike & a couple of large mouth. Motor ran great but, the heat alarm went off while trolling in about 3-4 feet of water, sandy bottom & milfoil already coming up. the water spray coming out the exhaust ports was hot. (is this normal ?)I remember the spray was pretty warm last year but the buzzer only sounded one time due to lean gas oil mix.
Impeller is 3yrs old & not used too much the first two. motor appeared to be pumping water just fine. ran great as well at high rpm's. |

you better check compression,not good to heat from lean gas oil mix. 3 years, its time for a new waterpump, that is if powerhead checks out ok |

Hello. I have a trim and tilt question. I have a 1996 Force 40HP I believe I have two different problems? The 1st one is I blow the 20amp fuse under the motor hood when I try to raise the trim. Can that be a bad relay? 2nd is I took apart the motor and cleaned up the contacts where the brushes touch. I put it back in the same way I took it out, is there anything I need to know that may have caused a problem? I had to take out the lower purge bolt to raise the motor so I could work on it. Now the motor is getting power but will not raise or lower. Do I need to purge the trim and tilt to get air out of it? and what position should the boat motor be in up or down? What is the proper way to fill the resivor? any help will be appreciated. Thank you |

Found this on the net ......
Chrysler Force Power Trim & Tilt repair
Chrysler Force outboard engines 70-150HP, 1966-1995 Generally speaking a well maintained Chysler Force Power Trim and Tilt system is good for about 15 years with oil and 12 years with ATF.
Topping off your fluid
If your fluid is low then the system will raise to certain level and stop. Prestolite systems should be topped off with the engine lowered. Mercury systems should be topped off with the engine tilted. If your existing fluid is red then use ATF. If your existing fluid is not red then use non-detergent 30W motor oil or ISO32 hydraulic oil.
Bleeding out air bubbles
The system is self bleeding. There are no issues associated with air bubbles in cylinders. Top off the resevoir and cycle the system up/down a few times. If your problem remians then it is something else.
System bleeds down
Fully tilt the engine and block into place.
Remove oil tube from bottom of tilt cylinder and plug the hole with a 3/16" inverted flare plug
(standard brake fitting available from any auto parts store)
Remove blocking from engine and observe
If engine bleeds down then the lift cylinder is bad. If engine does not bleed down then the pump is bad.
The pump motor quit, runs slow, or only runs in one direction.
The motor rarely wears out. Check the relays and wiring first. If it goes in only one direction then swap the relay connections and see if the problem is reversed. The pump motor draws a lot of amperage - especially the 3w models. If the pump is running slow then check to make sure that all electrical feeds are clean and secure. If the motor quit running then it is probably due to rust or oil. The seals break down and debris can cause the brushes to loose contact with armature. Sometimes you can open the motor and blow it clean. Reassemble with new seals not silicon sealant. If it is rusty then you should get the pump rebuilt by someone who will bead blast the inside of motor collar.
The trim cover top ring is coming out
carefully clean out any debris and reseat the ring by driving it back down with a socket and mallet. Make four indentations into the surrounding aluminum with a punch to hold it in place |
