To start from the begining...
When I bought the boat the tilt went down fine but when raising the motor I had to help it up. The motor runs while raising but its like it doesn't have enough power.
I then noticed on the trim cylinder where the trim gauge threads into the back was stripped, so I just took off the trim cylinder and capped the bottom of the tilt cylinder where it would feed over to the trim cylinder.
I bought a new tilt motor thinking the old one just wasnt strong enough, and bleed and filled with ATF later finding out its self bleeding and u just have to fill it.
Anyways I feel like the only other things that could be the problem would be the tilt cylinder or the manifold mounted to the bottom of the tilt motor. How does one check these or had anyone had this same issue? I saw in one post that it may be a sticky valve but that post was for a bigger motor.
Please help I would hate to scrap the new tilt motor and assembly for one of those aftermarket tilt units.
