Re: 1985 Force 85hp tilt/trim
There shoud be a plug on the side of the motor housing.Lower the motor and remove the screw.Put oil in the hole till it comes out.Then cycle the pump and do it again.
It sounds like the pump is ok but there is a seal leaking.
Does it drift all the way down or stop at the trim position?
If it leaks all the way down the pump probably has a leaking seal.
If it stops at the trim position them the tilt ram is probably bad.
Good luck,J
