Hi Dave
it is a long time since I done this but I do remember changing an impellor on a force 120 on the beach & it took less than an hour
you will have to remove the gearbox housing to gain access to impellor housing. it is normally 4 -6 bolts from the underside and then draw the gearbox & shaft down - you will then see the housing at the top
good luck

Thankyou for your speedy reply.
I'm afraid your right, I did run the engine for about 30 seconds. Do I have to remove the bottom end to replace the impeller?
Cheers
Dave

Hi Davedid you run the engine out the water (even for seconds) with no mufflers by any chance if so you would have damaged the rubber impeller in the gearbox. this is a relatively easy job to do & is a minor inconvenience in the scale of marine maintenanceregardsalan----- Original Message -----From: DaveSent: Monday, June 05, 2006 10:12 PMSubject: [baylinerboats] Force 90 HP cooling systemHi all
I bought a capri cuddy a couple of months back and after renewing the
hydrolic pump have finally put her in the water. Unfortunately she is
overheating after about 5 minutes. I'm new to boats so would
appreciate any advice you can offer. The boat has never been in the
sea. There is no water stream coming from the engine so I'm guessing
either the impeller is shot or the system is blocked. What is the
first thing I should be checking. I've had a look and cant see any
easy way of checking the insides, it looks like the whole bottom end
needs to be removed to check the impeller. I'm not even sure where the
intake holes are so would greatly welcome any information and advice,
cheers
