My 1983 unit will not tilt down from fully up. The tilt motor runs on pressing the "down" rocker but the leg will only move at first by shoving. When tilted far enough the leg can then be tilted down to the normal running position. Trimming is OK as is any amount of raising. My oil level is OK and there are no leaks. Am I about to have a total failure?

The steering tube on the front of your motor mount (the pivot point) needs to be greased and exercised.
