Re: 85 hp force outboard not pumping water here
Since you just bought the boat, go ahead and change the water pump impeller, the fuel pump diaphragm and gasket, and drain and refill the lower unit. If there is not one there already, put a cheap fuel filter between the fuel pump and carbs.
Refer to the front part of the forum, there is a sticky there realating to taking your lower unit off and replacing your impeller. here
You don't specifically "prime" the engine. What I meant was: when first starting the engine in the driveway on muffs, the water pump is dry. It will not have enough suction to pull water up from the intakes. It is well above the water pick-up so it takes a lot of pressure to get water up into the pump. Allowing a good water plow and decent pressure will fill the pump with water and thus prime it so it is capable of continued pumping. here

I am going to change out the water pump. I have the Clymer manual but it doesn't show how to get to the water pump.
Yes the shift rod clevis pin is what I was talking about.
Thanks to everyone for all of the help, I will be changing the pump on Thursday. This site is awesome! [links]
Pull out the lower drive unit until the drive shaft is clear of the midsection and set it on the ground. more
Pull the impeller pump housing up off of the drive shaft. If the housing appears stuck, use a screwdriver to gently pry up the housing to loosen it. here
Outboard motors use water that comes in through the water intake to keep the engine cool when it is running. The water is brought into the outboard through the use of an impeller that draws water into the water intake opening on the midsection of the outboard. The impeller may need to be replaced if the engine is not running properly. You can install an impeller on a Force outboard motor by first accessing the impeller pump housing.
Apply grease to the impeller key so that it does not fall out of the drive shaft. The impeller key is a pin or small piece of metal that is located at the base of the drive shaft. [links]
