The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I am just as tired of talking about these manual tilt cylinders as you are of listening. But-, just beat these frozen rascals of the -70 h.p.,81 merc, and the ques is, do I really need to put them back?<br /><br />------------------
Yo, Jarhead. Yup. Those are shock absorbers to save your motor and boat if you hit an underwater obstacle. They control the kick-up and let it down easy so your engine doesn't tear your transom off and take it to the bottom of the water. They also let it down easy if you have manually tilted it up and then unlatch it to go back down.<br />Happy boating.<br />JB
Thanks for your imput. You sound like you would be fun to fish with. Maybe I'll spend some money, and get a new pair of shochs.<br /><br />------------------<br />The Few
