I recently purchased a 40HP Evinrude,Yr. mfr. unknown. no manuals, etc; the tilt assist gas cylinder is frozen in the tilt up position. Removing it was no major problem; all bushings, etc... seem o.k. <br />(A)Does anyone repair/service these things ?<br />(B)Is there an alternate item to...
I have determined the cycinder is "fubar"; do we have a reliable source for parts (other than local repair shops)? Anybody rebuild/service these things? Any good substitute item with a better reliability/longevity record ? Thanks
