    97 90Hp Johnson trim tilt

    So yesterday I checked the hydraulic fluid level by putting the motor all of the way up flipping the stop bracket so it couldn't go back to the down position. Not that it showed any amount of settling. I removed the fill plug and oil ran out of the opening, so it seems as though it is full. Do...

    Is there a proper procedure to topping off the fluid? Like motor in the down position or up position?

    97 90Hp Johnson trim tilt

    I have 3 switches that control the motor. One on the motor one at the controls and one on the bow. When the buttons are pushed the tilt motor runs from all 3 controls but the motor will only raise. The tilt motor runs when in the down position but the motor does not lower.

    97 90Hp Johnson trim tilt

    I have a 1997 90hp Johnson motor that when it is hot outside and it is in the down position I can raise it but then it won't go back down. It happened one day last year and now yesterday it did it again. I just checked it this morning and it worked fine, both up and down. My thinking is that it...

    Shifter on 97 Crestliner with a 97 90hp Johnson

    A couple of weeks ago I had a friend show me how to press the center button on the shifter that allows you to keep the prop disengaged but the shifter set to a higher idle speed for easier starts when it is cold. Last week I took my boat out again and tried to use that feature but it would not...

    97 Johnson 90hp won't lower

    Thanks for the ideas. I went out this morning and it worked just fine. I will check the fluid and make sure there is no air in the system. Thanks again.

    97 Johnson 90hp won't lower

    Trim motor does spin. It sounds normal it just acts like it has reached it's maximum travel range.

    97 Johnson 90hp won't lower

    I raised my 97 90hp Johnson motor to work on the lights on my trailer and now it won't lower back down to the run position. It acts like it is hitting a stop of some kind. I raised it to the max to give myself more room to work and now it will not go back down. I'm at a loss:(

    Minn Kota Ulterra manual stow

    Yesterday I had to do a manual stow on my Ulterra. Does it now have to be taken to a repair shop to have the worm gear tilt bracket and the manual tilt knob bracket put back in sync? The motor and deploy feature is working fine and it was just a stupid mistake of mine that caused me to have to...

    1997 Johnson Mod: J90TSLEUA

    Looking at service manuals, which do I need? There are 90* CV, 90* LV EU 90* CV. I guess it makes a difference or there wouldn't be so many different titles.
