I have a 1972 Johnson 65 HP OB that has an aftermarket tilt/trim unit. The tilt motor mounts on the Starboard side of the OB and has a "swing arm" attached to the OB.
The hydrolic arm moves up and down when not under load. It moves the OB up and down some of the time. It gets stuck up sometimes and I have to turn a screw on the front of it to manually lower it.
I can not find any manuals on this setup so I am at a loss as to what to do to fix it. I am thinking that it may need fluid (I had a simular issue wiht my trim on an OMC Cobra drive). Can anybody tell me how to check the fluid levels and how to fill if needed?
I'll post pictures when I get a chance.
Thanks.
