I have a1996 Evinrude 25 hp, with remote controls and manual trim, model number: E25ELEOA. When I got it I found that the tilt lock was not functional due to worn/broken parts in the shaft the lever is connected to. I replaced those parts and the tilt lock now works fine.
I am trying to figure out of my trim is broken or functioning that way it is supposed to. Currently, I have to pull the pin out to get the engine to tilt up, and when I let the engine back down it clicks and locks in place on the pin, no matter the location. There is a lever I can move, under the hook that hooks on the pin when down and it swings back and forth, not seeming to matter which position it is in.
I was under the impression that the engine should kick up if I hit an underwater obstacle, stump, etc. With the spring tension on the hook lever that hooks on the pin, I don't see how it could kick up if I hit something.
The lever I was speaking of before, that swings back and forth under the assembly, well I had the impression that it has something to do with reverse, like maybe when it was down it was for forward travel and the engine would kick up if I hit something. If I wanted to use reverse I should move this lever forward, under the tilt pin, to lock the engine in place for reverse operation.
If you look at http://www.crowleymarine.com/johnson-evinrude/parts/49942.cfm
I am referring to parts 74, 76, and 78, with 78 being the lever I can move forward and back, thinking it is for locking for reverse operation. 74 is the actual hook lever that hooks onto the trim pin.
Other notes that may be helpful. The spring, number 103, goes from the center of part 93 to a bar, 56, going across part 78. The spring, 77, goes to 76, the reverse lock, at the bottom and seems stretched awfully tight.
Thanks,
Chris
