1986 Force 85hp Power Trim Installation question

[ASColodner]

Recently purchased a power trim (factory) and need installation assistance. Does anyone have an installation instructions? Could someone provide a picture of an installed trim? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I'll take some pics in the am.
All the old tilt and lock needs to be taken out.
It's easier to do this when hanging from a lift or tree.
Ever been in salt water? If so it might be a real fun job

That would be very helpful. I have had the boat in salt water but the transom and bolts are all clean and turn freely (I guess I am lucky). The tilt I have is off the identical boat/engine. Again thanks. I have seen it work. Getting the old manual tilt lock off was easy.

Any luck on the pictures for the trim install?

Just wondering how you made out? I just did this same installation last weekend on my 85hp. Came out awesome and was a PITA to get off the old transom bracket. If you still need some pictures I may be able to help after work today. (Finally, my first post! )

Install was fairly easy. Had trouble lining up holes for shaft but used a dowel. Boat in water in LBI. Now I have think it needs hydrolic fluid as it doesn't hold in upright position very long. Will look at it when I get home.

Sorry I didn't post pics. My camera took a dump and my phone's pics are horrible.
Fill it while it's in the down position.
Then cycle it up and down.
Then top off as needed.
Then if it still drops you need to do a leakdown test.
But more than likely your gonna need a new pump????
