Hi, having trouble with power tilt not going up. I have to lift engine while engaging up switch, motor runs but won't lift. Once at the top the engine will fall down to about 2/3rds and stay. I checked oil level and its good. The owner before me has fitted a bigger tilt motor from a 115hp of which brand i can't remember. Any information would be great.

Trim & Tilt

With someone?s help push the up button, and someone help the motor go all the way up. Lock motor in that position, now fill reservoir, replace cap. Unlock and bush button to lower motor. Keep repeating until it does not take fluid. The unit should operate now. Dextron II or power steering fluid.
