    Wiring a 3 wire trim/tilt pump to throttle handle switch

    The advantage with relays in my opinion is they are cheaper, easier to change and if you are going to mount them under the engine cowl they will need less space. No they are easy to wire up. One side of the relay coil to ground the other side from remote control handle switch up/down to either...

    Wiring a 3 wire trim/tilt pump to throttle handle switch

    I would use two regular automotive auxiliary relays (five pin) used for auxiliary lights etc, and two pre wired sockets. These relays can handle 30-40 ampere continuous depending on brand. You only run the T&T for a short time and these relays are cheap to change.

    1991 150B force outboard no spark

    You have the Mercury Thunderbolt ignition system. Before that it was the Prestolite system. Post 1996 Mercury put the CDM system on the lager Force engines, but the 150Hp was out in 1996.

    1991 150B force outboard no spark

    No upgrade system as I know. The Thunderbolt system that Mercury used on the Mercury brand was the last system on Force 150 5 cyl. engine before they stop making the 150Hp in 1995-96. In 1997 Mercury put the CDM ignition system on the larger Force engines 40-120Hp.

    Wiring a 3 wire trim/tilt pump to throttle handle switch

    The relays can handle the current that the electric pump motor need to operate. As I am in Sweden Europe we use square millimeter when we talk about how heavy the wire is. The pump motor need at least 2,5 square millimeter wire. It can handle about 15 Ampere DC current constantly but remember...

    Wiring a 3 wire trim/tilt pump to throttle handle switch

    As Scott says, you need to operate the T&T with to relays and control them from the switch in the remote control handle.

    controls

    Sound your issue is in the LU as you have to move the shift lever all way forward to get it in reverse. The shift shaft lower is threaded in to the shifting fork in the LU. I have to check in my workshop manual to be sure but I think the shift shaft lower should be turned all way in to the...

    Does anyone know what this plug is called ??

    These grommets are common on 70.es and 80.es japanese engines such as Suzuki, Yamaha, "japanese built" Mariner and maybe Tohatsu (Nissan). Cover for the shift linkage coupler.

    1985 Force 85 tilt/trim motor question

    You have to pull the brushes back when reassembling the board were the holders for the brushes are mounted. Maybe use some tooth picks to hold them back. Then put the cover on. Can be a PIA.

    What oil to run in trim/tilt shock absorber?

    If using ATF beware the oil can eat the seals and it starts to leak again. The T&T require 30Wt non detergent, other multi grade 30W oil will eat the seals.

    What oil to run in trim/tilt shock absorber?

    I have never opened up a shock absorber to refill the oil but the T/T system on Chrysler/Force engines used to need 30Wt non detergent oil. It depend on the seals if they can manage ATF oil. I would suggest you to use 30Wt oil.

    1987 mercury 75

    6218795 and if 3 cylinder, it is a 1982 year model. Not a looper, it is a cross flow with low domes at the pistons. Sorry did not read all posts, it is a Mariner. Forget the information above.

    120hp Force year?

    The Force 120Hp came in 1990 and as it has the Force style LU and not the Mercury style it is an 90-94 year model. From my experience looking at the decals it is post 1992. As jerryjerry says look for a foundry stamp at the block, it is like a circle with the year in the center.
