This weekend I had to use the manual tilt release screw to lower my engine. (1995 Johnson Oceanpro)
I had a very hard time turning the screw (screwdrive+vice grips)
I stripped it slightly and I would like to replace the screw with a new one.
Does anyone have any experience replacing the screw.
Can I just take it out without draining the fluid? Also it seems like it will only turn (CCW) so much (???)

Thanks
srej

Hi. I'm having the same problem with the tilt screw and was wondering if you made the repair and what to watch out for. Thanks, AK.

Did you remove the snap ring before trying to take it out ??
