Forgive me for being forward, but the best day of my life was when my force died and I installed a 150 Merc on my Trophy. No more bad fishing trips due to the force. I had a 20 horse kicker that has gotten stolen since. It brought me in more times than I care to tell. YOu are not as bad off if you have the Force that actually listed as a Mercury Force. The bad news is that the trolling plate is a bad idea for the Force. Idling on a Force 120 and 150 is what kills them. the piston rings stick in the pistons. You then lose compression. Listen to these other guys. I didn't at first and they were right. Life is now good. But then again it only took more money.
