My Tilt & Trim runs up and down ok, but it will not stay up, fall down pretty fast. Does it just need the orings replaced or might it be something else.
thanks for the info, i have checked for air and the manual release, no luck, do you think it needs a rebuild, and if so can it been done with out to much trouble?
my guess is that it is not the trim rams, maybe manifold or the tilt cylinder is my guess, because it only falls down from full up until it stops at the trim rams.
From what I remember it was the tilt/trim release valve in the valve body of the unit. Get yourself an OEM maual so you can see how to take it apart. Look for this valve in the manual. It's a needle pointed valve which has been up dated over the years. This was the biggest culprit back in those days causing the prob you have now.
