    Fluid leak out of release screw

    Trim tilt leak leaks fluid out of the release screw. Especially on the way down. Is there o-rings behind it that can be replaced? When I turn it left, to try to get it out, it seems like it turns forever. Please help. Thanks

    Nothing works

    Brand new battery. Old battery had enough power to work trim after I replaced trim motor. After installing a new battery, nothing works. Ignition key, trim, choke, gushes... nothing works. What am I missing?
