    1972 OMC 225 Tilt not working

    Wow, i hadn't heard about the explosion. I knew about the one on the Iowa. In the Turret. I was a primer man in turret two on the Jersey. I saved some of the spent primers when we bombarded them with the 16's. One the boat front, i got the tilt working. Did what you said and it worked. I...

    1972 OMC 225 Tilt not working

    That might be my problem yes, i was on the Iwo Jima. For about a week. It was the medical support when the Marine barracks were hit in october. I got on the ship, the day before the bombing.

    1972 OMC 225 Tilt not working

    Hi Kenny, it's possible I put the snap ring for the spur gear in that slot accidentally. As for missing parts. I don't know, I'll track down a good manual. Perhaps a shim is needed to tighten up the pressure on the bell vill springs. I was a BM2 on the USS New Jersey in the early 80s. We're...

    1972 OMC 225 Tilt not working

    Hi Kenny, so in my manual out has an intermediate housing exploded view, the area that concerns me just says tilt clutch assembly. No real breakdown. I have the washers without her teeth and I have the washers with inner teeth and the thrust washers that are cupped. Perhaps I'm supposed to...

    1972 OMC 225 Tilt not working

    Hi Kenny, One other thing. Can i get to the hammer blow coupling from the outer housing. Or do i have to get to it by removing the tilt motor. I can't see how the clutch locks the spur gear in any particular location. When I think of a clutch I think of some sort of centrifugal force that...

    1972 OMC 225 Tilt not working

    Ok thanks. I reinstalled that snap ring but did nt have to use that tool or home made tool. Perhaps the snap ring didn't fully fall into the slot. Or i had one of the washers facing the wrong way? I do have a manual but it's not detailed enough.

    Testing 72 OMC 225 OUT OF WATER in

    Thanks a bunch. I'm anxious to fire it up after a quadrajet rebuild. You wouldn't happen to know what could be wrong with the clutch in the tilt housing if the out drive drops back down when i lift it? I replaced a shear pin at the worm gear and put everything back together and the spur gear...

    1975 omc sterndrive power tilt problems

    Hello, on my 1972 OMC 225 I can lift the stem drive and it does go back down. I cleaned and reassembled the clutch and installed a replacement shear pin on the shaft at the worm gear. Without a load the spur gear will spin but with a load with the tilt quadrant engaged the outdrive won't lift...

    Testing 72 OMC 225 OUT OF WATER in

    Other boats I've had I've used the ear muff attachment hooked to the garden hose. This boat dies not have the water intake I'm used to. There is a cap, garden hose size on the intermediate housing. Also looks like the intake is at the bottom of the lower section of the outdrive. What's the...

    1972 OMC 225 Tilt not working

    Is it possible that the spur gear can rotate, but under load as in when the tilt quadrant gear is meshed, that weight is too much for the motor? Perhaps i reassemble the clutch components wrong when i put them back in the housing?

    1972 OMC 225 Tilt not working

    Ok so my main reason for tilting it is to lower it to test the main motor. But you're saying something is stripped? What do you think it is? The shear pin is good the spur gear rotates.

    1972 OMC 225 Tilt not working

    Hello, First time asking a question. Hope this is the right forum. I replaced a broken pin that fits in the slot on the worm gear. The trim motor works and spins the spur gear clockwise and counter clockwise. But.....when I attached the tilt quadrant gear to the out drive engaging the spur...
