    This is my bottom housing/manifold, the relief valve is either non-accessible or not existent?? I’m going to hand test the cylinders and replace with another manifold/old style pump if i get nothing once reinstalled.

    Troubleshooting 91 Force 90HP Tilt/Trim System

    I have a silver puck looking type p/n 811702 pump. Did not see any threads or can find anything on how to rebuild that type and are ~$100 on ebay to replace. No sure how often those fail. It is a series of ball bearing and springs inside to my knowledge.

    Lower Unit Bearing Carrier Leaking

    Retainer nut off with some propane and a dull screwdriver as a chisel. Next up pulling carrier, saw someone use a bolt type with some extra long carriage bolts going to try that first.

    Lower Unit Bearing Carrier Leaking

    Yes plan on now replacing o-ring and prop seals, see if it holds pressure then. If it doesn't take off lower and look at the seals on top of unit. Do you think 10psi is too high for this unit?

    Followed factory test did not pass the "up or down" test in the factory test so I am going to attempt to rebuild valve, or get a new assembly. The test is a little confusing as when I capped each line nothing lifted the engine at all? The factory test assumes the engine will lift with the...

    Troubleshooting 91 Force 90HP Tilt/Trim System

    Thanks for reply, I cycle it up down 3-5 times before trying to try to add some fluid, but have to lift each time by hand, so I think I have it bled. I found your sticky it seems to be similar/the same to factory procedure, I was trying to avoid breaking into the lines if it was just air but...
