Force 85 Tilt and Trim Parts

[twalker]

I have recently rebuilt my tilt and trim on my 1988 Force 85. the TT is a 2 wire. The motor is model number 856X88B. Whar is an equivalent part number for the O ring located on the valve body right behind the C-clip. My second question is where can I find the stainless steel C-clips, as one of them snapped on me.

Re: Force 85 Tilt and Trim Parts

I don't remember the number. use a caliper to measure the groove diamter and get a high-grade 3/32" oring to fit. Viton is best but you'll probably have to settle for a Buna70. I have no idea where you can get just one SS clip. I buy them in bags of 100 and they are still expensive simply because there is so little call for the part. Even for a specialty house it is a special order item. Maybe try to find a local fasten-all. You definitely do not want to use regular steel. If that plug pops out under pressure because the steel ring got rusty ... ouch. You just cost yourself a couple hundred dollars (or more).
