Hi folks , need some input. I have a 1996 Spectrum bass boat, with a 1995 Mercury Force 70 hp. Been out on the lake a few times this summer and the best speed I could get out of it was about 15-19 mph(GPS). Now I know a 70hp is no drag racer, but I should be looking at 30 -40 mph. It seems to be...

Hi, well like I said before as soon as I got my boat back I would let you know what my starting problem was, the choke switch was no good. Had to replace it, now it starts fine. So you mite want to look into that.

Yeah, getting the boat back on is a little harder , then off. For me I just get wet, up to the butt wet....I go in deep (when I go to the electric motor only lake, can't drive the boat on the bunkers) . I don't mine getting soaked, what's important for me is the boat gets on right. It will get...

Wow, join the club. I too have a 95 mercury force 70 hp. I just dropped mine off at the sh sun. For the same problem.....would not start cold. Had to take the cover off and play with the butterfly to get it to crank.my worry is I'll be on the water, and have to do that.So stay tuned when he...

Hey guys, having a hard time starting cold. I have a 95 force, 70hp. Push choke, I have a feeling the choke not work, anyway to check ?

Started Sum.,and it was a job. Here is my process " I squeeze the bulb about 3 or 4 times...usually gets hard round then, I wait 30 sec. Push the key in hold for 10 sec. Turn key while holding it in" turns but no start....wait 3 to 5 mins, try the process again. Now here is how it starts for me...

Makes sense, sounds like good advice, I ' ll just get the real McCoy. Thanks

What a cut up !!! Thanks guys, it was the relay....it was odd, I swapthem and the up and down works now. I thought just the down would work.Now I know some things you can get at any auto store ( like a fuse) are those relays one, or are they a dealer item ? Thanks for all the help.

I got it up guys, and it won't go down !!! My motor won't trim down....it will go up, go figure. Any ideas ? Thanks folks.

Hey guys anyone know or have the same engine ? Trying to find out the correct torque setting for a 1996 70hp Mercury force , I have a 15p prop on there.

Wow, ok really never thought of recycling line, are there places that will take or just put it in the plastic bin ?

When changing line, be it braid to mono......do any of you guys save your line, if so how ?

Well thanks for all the input, I already have three rods.....a 7ft m/h spinning rod, a 6'6 spinning rod med, and a b/c 6ft m/h. I kind of hoped I had all bases covered, more or less. Weekender,,no turney. So how many do some of you guys have ? I bet some of you have to sneek them in the house...

Hi guys, was wondering what size rod is best for allaround use,so if I want to pitch and flip, one day, and drop shot another and throw a crank/jerk another...you get the picture, what size would be best for that....and no its not the size of your rod ,but how you use it stuff lol

Have any of you guys jacked your boat up to fix the carpet on the main bunkers (ones at the bottom)? That's what I need to do, wanted to have it ready for the season....I would drop it in water, but it's frozen lol how would you jack it up ?

Sweet.....enjoy.

Nice boat, nice motor.....dude seriously ? Be careful

Wow, you did a great job.

I don't think I ever had bass or crappie for that matter, any of you guys ? How did they taste and how did you cook them.
