1987 50hp Evinrude (E50TLCUD). Raises and lowers just fine. Is there a one way valve that can be cleaned/replaced? I can't find a kit for it on Iboats. What kind of fluid does it use?


Thanks

Chris

There is a manual release valve that may be loose but I'm not sure where it is located on your motor.

Foung the manual release valve, loosened it, raised engine moved quickly to trim range, then stopped. Tightened valve, raised engine, still leaked down, same rate as before. I then tightened the valve some more, this time breaking the screw, still have the leak!

Help!!!
