Just a post to thank Lt. Cmdr. RRitt and Adm. Clanton for their posts giving advice to others. After reading several of their responses, I felt comfortable enough to identify my tilt pump (Eaton) and repair the trim cylinder which wouldn't hold the engine up for about $20 and half of that was for three original bolts on the trim cylinder (originals sheared off). Replaced all Orings from a hydraulic parts house here in Dallas for $11. Main problem was the trim piston oring had about a half-inch piece broken off.
Just wanted to thank you for helping people like me who like to do - or at least like to try to do - everything themselves.
