Bank fishing

Had a friend that had a similar stator issue. He was able to fix it
himself, but found out that the stator was no longer available for his 93
Force. Had to buy an updated one with a conversion kit. Made it a little
more expensive then previously thought, but I don't recall it being what I
would call a cheap fix.

Speaking of bank fishing, (to stay on subject in the thread), went out this
morning for three hours and caught two, lost one. It was a little slow.
Many I'll be glad when my boat gets in. It's rough on the old lower back
and ankles standing on such uneven ground for that length of time...

THe fluid leak in the cylinder is the expensive proposition. The tilt
motor, and the stator you can fix yourself.

Be Confident, Focused, but most of all Have FUN!

The " standing " problem is fixable with rod holders and an inexpensive
collapsable chair ( usually can find one for less than $20 at Wally World
: -))
The Stator is the problem you have described previously .... I did find a
couple of outbaord repair parts sites that list it as an available part but
I'm willing to bet that if I was to order one I would be told it is " no
longer available " .I looked for a seal kit for the tilt cylinder but was
told it was not available and the whole assembly had to be replaced ... yet
at a few sites I did see the seals listed as a seperate item . the motor
itself will have to be replaced outright . I am the first to admit that my
mechanical expertise is limited and therefore I would feel less than
confident about trying to replace these things on my own and will have to
have someone with more knowledge about such things do the job right the
first time .

Good luck with the motor Ed... As for the standing thing, I'm afraid the
collapsible chair would probably make it worse. I tend to cover quite a bit
of territory when bank fishing. I'll fan cast an area 10-15 minutes, but if
it isn't happening, I'm moving... That chair would probably get a little
cumbersome...

So it might have been more appropriate to say all that standing and walking.
:-)


Man, I'm getting lazy...

There are some after market stators available for may motors. I put an
aftermarket stator on my 1982 Black Max.

The chair wouldn't work for me either because I move around a lot due to the
nature of my waters. And unlike Andrew, my discomfort is in the upper, not
lower, back.
