Thanks for all the help earlier guys, i got the leak all squared away with an o-ring. the problem i am having now is that while trying to fully fill the motor with hydraulic fluid (you have to raise it 4 or 5 times while adding fluid) my trim/tilt motor will quit working. it never stops in mid stroke, it will just not work the next time i got to raise or lower the engine. you can hear the clicking at the motor, so im sure it is getting juice, but it wont do anything else. it is warm to the touch so i dont know if it is getting overheated or what. any thoughts on how i can remedy this problem or is the motor shot? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />thans again
