It has a screen like this

It has a digital screen display instead of the round individual gauges if that tells you anything. Ill be back in a few days.

The V spring that keeps lever centered, I took it off and bent slightly closer together. It takes less force for the shifting to engage the shift cutoff switch. It now works good. I know this isnt the right way and that lower unit is probably otw out but hey, it works!

That shift arm I have circled in red is super hard to turn. Going for a test ride this afternoon and ill report back. Both shift cables have been installed step by step per the manual.

Hey im in the same boat as you…. Lol did that $60 motor work?

Volvo Penta SX-A tilt motor went out, verified it’s getting 12V. I have been unable to find a replacement for the little electric motor. I have only been able to find the entire assembly for $1K. I would really appreciate help sourcing a replacement motor, there is not identification marks on it.

How can I check the steering arm for leaks? The steering arm has some solid rust instead the engine bay.

The shop I have access to has a I beam with a hoist that can only lift 9ft off the ground. I dont think ill have room to clear the sides of the boat.

Timing chain looks clean and the pan rails look to be in good shape as well.

Ya ill have to remove the drive, I thought that was a given lol.
