Im in the process of fitting my engine, i retrofitted from a volvo sterndrive to the Evinrude, whilst prepping for paint Ive noticed underneath the stern clamp one of the pipes to the tilt trim pump has been bypasses, a threaded end with the pip[e crushed has been fitte din the base of the pump Im guessing the trim side of things has flunked it, not knowing much about this particular OMC product, does this motor have the usual Preslite set up Id expect to see one ram for tilt and the the trim ram between the stern clamps? what is the common failure with the trim would it be pump related or ram related its fundamentally just a hydraulic system so maybe a blocked valve somewhere? would the trim unit be serviceable? would it be something someone of better then average mechanical apptitude could do?
Im going to do a tell tale conversion I read about on here and do some engine mods for a touch more ooomph, most of the bolts on these i imagine are imperial thread as i want to replace as many bolts as i can get to with stainless items, my last query is the water pump impellor its not going anywhere near the water without a new one fitted, are these easy enough to change with the electric box? any traps there to be wary off? million thank yous in advance.
