Hi Guys havent used my boat for 6 months, have to sell it getting it ready and cleaned out for selling and find when trying to tilt the motor fully up it only goes half way and then the motor sounds to be labouring as thought
some thing is restricting its full travell up, I know what it sounds like when
the resavoir is low on oil the motor speads up and its obvious its low on oil
this sounds different it labours when it gets to a certain point, as though the tilt lock or something is stopping its full travel, I have had the wife operate the tilt switch while i lift the motor from the bottom of the leg, and its solid. on the left of the motor just inside the transom bracket theres the tilt lever it goes back and forth as it should just beside that there is a bracket with different positions on it (from memory) this has caught me out before but i cant remember quite how now I think I have had a simlar problem way back. Can anybody shed some light on this for me as I was going to put the boat on ebay tonight, but cant untill soughting this out. I have a manual but the manual doesnt cover the operation of the tilt level and bracket next to it.
Im pretty sure this is what is restricting the travel fully up.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
