Hello,
I was getting my boat ready for the water and just noticed the power lift/tilt is malfuctioning.
The motor turns but won't lift the motor up all the way. I removed the power tilt unit and checked it out. It looks like there is a bubbling leak on the right side of the unit at the rim of this huge flat screw head located next to a smaller one.
I don't have a flat screwdriver that big, but I was hoping I could fix the leak by tighting this huge screwhead.
I'm also not sure how to add fluid to the unit if it did stop the leak. It looks like a small allen head plug on the front is the fill point. ( I just ordered shop manual)
I want to get my boat in soon, and I could even convert to a gas assisted lift piston, but I can't find on online.
I'd like to avoid the $1200 cost of the whole tilt/trim unit. ( what no core discount?)
Please Help!
thanks
