KaGee, Yes I got a new motor plus I cleaned the old one up and got it working again. Guess I have a new backup :D

:cool: <br />My buddy says one way to insure you never need a replacement is to always keep a spare! Of course, you cannot step into his garage for all of the stuff! :D <br /><br />Now, if we can get JH19 working, we can close this chapter! I know sombody that has a "just like new" tilt motor for sale! It's a BOOM of a deal! ;)

I put a new Tilt motor on last year after I got the boat because it did not have one and quickly found out what fun these little jewels can be. My bilge got flooded once and I did all sorts of cleaning and even pulled this little jewel and cleaned the water out of it and slow baked it and cleaned it and it worked for several trips to the lake but it is dead now.<br /><br />When I get my new one does anyone have suggestions on how to water proof and get it to stay together while installing?? Has any one tried glassing one up first??<br /><br />Thanks all
I have the same problem I would suggest you try with boost cable to jump from the battery pos post to the terminal post that leads to directly to the motor if this works then you still need to do something with corrosion on the wiring on the solenoids what I did to seal my motor was to use sillycone on the body joints of the motor don’t know how well it worked since it is now working I had to checked the wiring in this manor after I rebuilt my motor because I was still having the same problem after a few times of working good. These things have got to be super clean just like new or the voltage drop happens and all you get is a click For this reason I’m changing out the old solenoids for relays later this year

Re: OMC Stringer 800 Tilt Motor

The biggest problem regarding these tilt motors are oil and water coming up thru the tilt gear box. All the silicone sealing of the motor will do no good and sometimes can exacerbate the problem by trapping condensation and moisture inside the motor.
