    Can I plug the trim lines on a T/T unit and still use the tilt

    On my 89 Force 50 HP I recently discovered if I pull out on the handle on the control box this will put the transmission in neutral. This will permit the operator to have throttle control during the cold start. Awesome! Unfortunately my control box handle does not slide out very easily. What...

    89 Force Tilt/Trim Pump

    I have just finished installing a T/T on my 89 Force 50 hp. Connected all the wires and tested it... it worked. Then suddenly I saw oil leaking from one of the screws on the hydraulic pump. I tried tightening the screws but I still have a fluid leak. I read where the torque for the pump...
