tilt/ trim squeal

[bradfield]

I have a 1995 FourWinns 190 Horizon, with an OMC Cobra stern drive. At the very beginning/end of the tilt trim travel the tilt/trim motor squeals. I have ordered a service manual for the boat, but it won't be here until next week, and I really want to take the boat out for the last time this weekend. Can anyone out there help me out on this one.<br />Brad

Forgive me Bradfield, is it possible the 'squeel' you hear may be either air or water amongst the oil passing through the pump?<br />If it is then drain and refill after searching for leaks.<br />Ross

Re: tilt/ trim squeal

the squeal is a relief valve opening up to relieve the pressure once the cyl. has ended its travel
