Hi. I have a Johnson '85 4.5 HP (CJ5RHCOB) that does not stay tipped/tilted up (unless I wedge a board under it!). I'm having trouble finding any parts list or even knowing what to search for in order to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rob

try tightening the nut that is located on the shifter side, just above the clamp screw. i dont think there is any way to "lock" the motor in the up position..other than slightly up for shallow water.

Hmm... I'll take a look. I figured it'd have some sort of tilt lock to keep it all the way out of the water.
