What is the only thing in 1970 that tilted with a gear driven outboard? Sorry no questions on Sat...lol
I am tilting the propellor out of the water for loading and unloading. It is an outboard setup. old OMC stuff.
Does anyone know anything about "electric" tilt / trim?
The boat is a 1970 Aristo Craft. it does not tilt with hydraulic cylinders. It has a gear and electric motor. It was working, then it stopped. Trying to locate someone who has knowledge of this type "older" systems. Send pics tomorrow.

The boat is a 1989 Donzi with a OMC Cobre. I rebuilt the engine. It's a 5.7 and i put it back in. I did not remove the bell housing. Do i need to align the engine with the stern drive?
If you pull the shift cable off and pull it into foward gear and turn the prop by hand, should you be able to spin prop freely in foward. It feels like it wants to grab something but it lets go. In reverse it grabs nothing.
do not send hastings link. I have a copy. I spoke to someone who said find true neutral by taking both cables off. Shift and throddle cables. Now pull shift cable to reverse and have someone spin prop by hand to fully engage reverse gears. Mark the cable w/ a sharpee and do the same for foward...
