I have a 1998 Bayliner Trophy with a 1998 force 120 motor. The trim/tilt cyinder is leaking at the base. I see no screws or nuts to tighten to stop the leak or remove the cylinder to replace the o-ring or gascket. what am I missing?

Re: 1998 force 120 tilt cylinder leaks

If you have not messed with trim recently then my guess would be the seals between piston and pump base. However, you should first check the seal between reservoir and base. If fluid leaks out from bottom of motor then you would see it on bottom. It is not that uncommon for this seal to get messed up if people mess with trim motor.
