Hey guys,
Just joined fourm, have been reading and searching for several days to no avail I have a 1972 18' Tom Sawyer with 165 Mercruiser I/o type 1 drive. I have been working through several trim problems this year. I replaced all trim hoses inside and outside the boat. I removed cleaned and adj the pressure on the valve on bottom of the pump. I disassembled cleaned the trim pump. Now I have a leak from the reverse lock valve, I disasembled cleaned and have obvbiously got something wrong on the re-assembly of because I can trim up but not down. I started cracking lines from the pump and the pressure quit when I got to the exit from the rev lock valve to the actuators. the reverse lock valve is the type mounted on the transom plate. If some one could explain the position of the springs, balls and valve. Perhaps a diagram. By the way I have owned this boat for over 15 years And consider it on the continual rebuild program.
Thanks
Curtis
