Force 70 HP 1972. Storage / laying down

[jon woodfine]

I am updating the Force 70 HP on my Maxum 17 XR.
I intend to sell the outboard but need to store it on a pallet. Obviously being a 4 stroke it should lay on the right side.
Does anybody know which side this is?

Thanks Jon

? 1972 Force motor or boat

Maxum did not exist till about 1990.

All Force motors are 2 stroke.

Sorry. I'm obviously stuck in the 70's. I meant to say 92...
I don't know why I thought it was 4 stroke, but you recon 'ALL' Force engines are 2 stroke.
I inherited the engine on the boat. I believe its the factory fitted one.
Thanks Jon

Hey Jon no reason to be sorry as the 70's were a good time being a teen.

Yes Maxum use Force outboards so it is probably original. What do you plan to repower her with?

I 've got an ex RNLI Yamaha 90 autolube. 2008. It's like new. Exciting...
