    Installing controls on 88 125

    I recently purchased and mounted a Force 125 on my boat. All went well until I hooked up the throttle controls from a Yamaha. Took lots of adjusting and tightening things to end all the binding. Finally I had everything operating smooth, but I was waiting on a new ignition switch since it...

    1984 90hp ignition switch wires

    I have the controls from a 1984 90 hp for my old Yamaha. She blew up and I have since replaced the motor with a force 125. I'm having trouble identifying the wires from my Yamaha switch. My switch has black, red, yellow, white and brown/orange (can't tell if it's brown or orange). Can anyone...

    1988 Force 125 with Yamaha controls?

    Forgive me if I'm vague but I have a force 125, it came with the throttle cables , but I was not given the whole package. The seller cut the wires and told me I should be able to 'splice' in my yamaha trim button and ignition easily. Is this true? And could anyone help me identify the wires...

    1984 Yamaha 90hp Trim & Tilt issue

    Just picked up a 1984 Yamaha 90hp 2 stroke. The switch picks up the motor easily, but it will not lower. The 2 rods, only one pulls in also. I hear 'check valve' from some people. This the culprit?

    9.9hp Mariner issues

    I have a 1989-ish Mariner 9.9hp with a few issues. I've had it for roughly 8 years now and just recently started experiencing issues. First the engine started to start hard, took a lot of pulls or a shot of starter fluid. Sometimes it would bog and die out, once it would run - it would rev up...
