1971 165 Inline 6 tilt/trim problem. I have read everything I have searched which just generated more questions.
The problem: Drive will not go all the way down. Up is 100% ok, down only about half way then stops and tilt/trim pump sounds like it is loading down but still runs.
I suspect the reverse lockout, because taping it gently with a hammer allowed the drive to go down a little bit further before the pump started to sound bogged down.
Can I convert to a newer pump with the lockout built in and use the tilt/trim position ram on the transom? If so will my brand new stainless steel lines work, ie: except for bypassing the reverse lockout is it a bolt in as far as hydraulics are concerned? If all of this is true, which pump do I buy....iboats link ?
If I cannot convert is the reverse lockout rebuild-able?
